Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Covers slightly faded at spine and edges. With the ownership signature of V.H. Vosper, blind-stamp address above. Five colour plates, the last, a fold-out, slightly creased. "Neither the King nor the Queen can so much as venture out of doors, without the whole circumference of the display world being banded with stripes of red, white and blue . . . Public interest in royalty is so great that even an association once removed is effective. When the occasion for patriotism is a coronation, gold is used as well as red, white and blue. There are a number of shades of gold, and though it hardly matters which is chosen, only one should be used throughout any one scheme. The death of royalty calls for the utmost tact in display, the colours appropriate being black, purple and silver . . .".

DW a little soiled, unclipped. Internally, half title, [6], 7-217 pp, inscribed by author "To the only hooliganette in the world from Quentin Crisp" (see p189 for his reference to hooliganette. Ex Harlech library copy with their stamp to fpd & verso tp, evidence of tape removal to fpd, boards, some tiny paper repairs to DW. (Folio, 131*198 mm). An uncommon inscription by the author. Crisp was unfailingly courteous and sweet-tempered, though pretentiousness of any kind inspired him to exquisitely phrased sarcasm. He was his own creation, and by being such did much more for tolerance than many militants. The unique human being who disposed of Dennis Pratt ('as my name was before I dyed it') and wore mascara, lipstick, and powder in order to be Quentin Crisp, will be remembered for that grand assumption.
