Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Wrappers. Upper cover slightly marked. Reprint of the Revised Definitive Edition of 1971 (this, the author's first novel, was first published by Cobden-Sanderson, 1922); from the library of Sir Michael Holroyd. It was an instant success, writes Holroyd, "but of esteem rather than coveted circulation. Everyone had read the book, but no one seemed to have bought it. Cobden-Sanderson euphemistically reported it to be selling 'steadily', that was about a couple of copies every couple of weeks. Gerhardie, who had expected a state of emergency, with crowds berserk in bookshops and police rushed off their feet, endured the calm before the storm with some impatience. But still the omnibuses ran in the streets, the planets revolved in the sky as if nothing monumental had occurred. Futility had stunned the world of letters, had left it silent with admiration.".
