Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. Limited Edition of 850 copies, of which this is number 689. There are 95 pages in the book. The 95th page, the last Index page, is unnumbered. Beginning with the book, it is in very nice condition. You can see the blue covers in the photos. They are very clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is bright. There's a little bit of crinkling and color fade at the spine ends, no tears or loss. The spine is sun toned. The cover edges are in excellent shape, no rubbing. The same can be said for the cover corners. All three page edges are deckled or rough-cut. The spine is straight and the binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in very good condition. The pages are exceptionally clean. I turned them all over without finding any soiling. None of the pages are uncut. Around 20 or so have a crease coming down a little ways from their top corner, the kind of crease created by something pressing down. There are no turned-down corners, no placeholder creases. There are no tears. There are no markings of any kind. No attachments. There isn't any writing in the book other than a lightly penciled 'rare jacket' on the first of two blank front end papers. Which brings us to the, yes, rare jacket. As you can see, the front and rear are in pretty nice shape, a loss at the top edge of the spine takes with it a little bit of the top edge of the front and rear. The jacket is quite clean. There is toning off the top edges of the front and rear. The spine is also toned. There is a penciled '689' at the front top right corner (which, as mentioned, is the book's given number in the limited edition). The condition rating on the jacket is due to the losses at the spine endings and at the center of the spine (second photo). There is no print on the flaps. They are in good shape, no tears or losses, and clean. The jacket is thus not priced, nor is it clipped. I have always had it in a fitted protective cover. I removed it to better examine the jacket. Despite the losses, the jacket is in very solid shape. I'm going to place a new fitted protective cover on it before scanning the photos. Once listed, this will be by far the least expensive of any of the few copies with a dust jacket. 'Duncan James Corrowr Grant was a Scottish painter and designer of textiles, pottery, theatre sets, and costumes. He was a member of the Bloomsbury Group. His father was Bartle Grant, a 'poverty-stricken' major in the army, and much of his early childhood was spent in India and Burma.'. With a portrait and decorations by Duncan Grant (son of Major Bartle Grant) (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Each volume one of 550 copies, quarto size, approx. 650 total pages, each volume signed by the author. The "Furnival Books" were a series of shorter works from young authors, some of whom would go on to be considered the best of their day. The brainchild of bookseller and publisher A. W. Steele, he published these limited edition copies under two imprints, but the entire series of twelve books were all printed by the Chiswick Press between 1930 and 1932. One of the great bonuses of this series are the frontispiece illustrations, several by some of my own favourite artists: John Austen, Robert Gibbings, Frank Papé, and Clare Leighton. Particulars on the twelve books are as follows: (1) Powys, T.F.; Warner, Sylvia Townsend (Foreword); Garnett, R.A. (Woodcut), "The Key of the Field", 1930, no. 12, 39 pp.; (2) Bates, H.E.; Garnett, Edward (Foreword); Austen, John (Line Engraving), "The Hessian Prisoner:, 1930, no. 477, 42 pp.; (3) Coppard, A.E.; Gibbings, Robert (Woodcut), "The Man From Kilsheelan", 1930, no. 180, 38 pp.; (4) Davies, Rhys; O'Flaherty, Liam (Foreword); Papé, Frank C. (Illustration), "The Stars, The World, and The Women",1930, no. 135, 53 pp.; (5) Hanley, James; Aldington, Richard (Foreword); Odle, Alan (Frontispiece), "The Last Voyage", 1931, no. 232, 73 pp.; (6) Strong, L.A.G.; Coppard, A.E. (Foreword); Garwood, Tirzah (Frontispiece), "The Big Man", 1931, no. 267, 45 pp.; (7) Manhood, H.A.; Williamson, Henry (Foreword); Hilder, Rowland (Frontispiece), "Little Peter the Great", 1931, no. 368, 95 pp.; (8) Warner, Sylvia Townsend; Powys, T.F. (Foreword); Kermode, William (Frontispiece), "A Moral Ending" (also containing "A Parting Gift" and "How to Succeed in Life"), 1931, no. 468, 47 pp.; (9) Garnett, David; Bates, H.E. (Foreword); Grant, Duncan (Frontis), "A Terrible Day", 1932, no. 148, 37 pp.; (10) O'Flaherty, Liam; Davies, Rhys (Foreword); Moon, P.V. (Frontis), "The Wild Swan" (also containing "It Was the Devil's Work" and "Unclean"), 1932, no. 121, 60 pp.; (11) Benson, Stella; West, Geoffrey (Foreword); Leighton, Clare (Frontis), "Christmas Formula" (also containing "Tchotl" and "A Dream"), 1932, no. 419, 67 pp.; [and] (12) Collier, John; Sitwell, Osbert (Foreword); Wolfe, Edward (Frontis), "Green Thoughts", 1932, no. 45, 56 pp. ___DESCRIPTION: The volumes all of a uniform design, with each bound in a different colour of cloth, each with the title in gilt on both the front board and the spine, the author in gilt towards the bottom of the front board, year of publication in gilt at the tail of the spine, top edges gilt, the limitation pages found before the half-titles each signed by the author, each volume with a frontispiece by different artists; binding quarto size (10 1/8" by 6 3/8"), pagination as set forth above. ___CONDITION: The set near fine overall, the boards on most volumes clean (vol. 2 with a thin line on the back board which appears to be some sort of residue, vol. 9 with small spot of soil on the front board, and vol. 12 with what appears to be offsetting from the glue), the corners on most volumes straight and unrubbed but a few volumes lightly bumped and with minimal rubbing, strong, square text blocks with solid hinges, the interiors clean and bright, and the set entirely free of prior owner markings; several volumes with sunning to the boards and most volumes with the spines sunned. Still overall a lovely set, a few condition issues to the bindings, the interiors fine, we noted several signatures unopened. ___POSTAGE: Please note that the combined size and weight of this set will necessitate additional postage, please inquire for details; International customers, also please note that any taxes, duty, or tariffs charged by your country will, of necessity, be your responsibility. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
