1940180897London: Hodder & Stoughton 1940. First edition with typescript letters signed by the author and publisher addressed to the illustrator Ethel "Bip" Pares laid in discussing the jacket design and urgency of the project. Pares was an Art Deco illustrator who designed book covers for authors such as Nancy Mitford posters for London Transport and maps during the Second World War. The first letter dated 30 July 1940 is from Robert Percy Hodder-Williams 1880-1958 to Pares 1904-1977. He praises her jacket for Sea Way Only 1937 - "the unbeatable Jordan wrapper" - and asks if she might illustrate the jacket for Tide Still Flowing and if time allows provide five line-drawn vignettes. He stresses the need for speed - "we must not hold up production" - and describes the work as "very much a man's book pretty strong meat I think and fine stuff." The second letter dated 8 August 1940 is from Jordan 1885-1963 to Hodder-Williams offering assistance with the design: "If Miss Pares will give me an idea as to the illustrations she has in mind I will do my best to supply her at once with some data". He also discusses making alterations to the proofs of another work perhaps This Island Demands published the following year: "I certainly do not want to offend anyone needlessly in these hard times. It was hard to write in war but the result seems more or less what I intended." Jordan's letter is accompanied by a letter dated the following day from Hodder-Williams's secretary - one D. E. Fisher - to Pares stressing "the urgency of this job. Mr Hodder-Williams is very concerned about the time problem in connection with this book." Octavo. Illustrated vignettes by Bip Pares. Original blue cloth spine and front cover lettered in black. With dust jacket. Spine toned ends and corners worn pp. 65-81 browned gauze occasionally visible; jacket unclipped spine browned chip to tail of spine affecting lettering: a very good copy in like jacket. hardcover
