Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Wrappers. Spine slightly darkened and with mild wear, upper cover slightly marked. Reprint (first published by Duckworth, 1946, Penguin edition first published 1951), with the ownership inscription of Alan Bell, Gerona, and his pencilled notes. Alan Scott Bell (1942-2018), librarian, for many years the custodian of Evelyn Waugh's incoming correspondence, was commissioned to write a biography of Waugh in the 1980s, but in the 1990s ceded the role to Selina Hastings. For the many writers on Waugh since, he remained an invaluable consultant; for literary editors, a willing and authoritative reviewer. He wrote a life of Sydney Smith, sometime Rector of Combe Florey, later Waugh's home village, and he edited the selected letters of Waugh's great-great-grandfather the judge Lord Cockburn. He was an adviser to Oxford University Press's "Complete Edition" of Evelyn Waugh and, with Alexander Waugh, co-editor of its volume 30, Personal Writings 1903-1921: precocious Waughs (2017).

First Edition Signed
Small 4to. (8), 253, (1) pp., final blank leaf. Contemporary full cloth with giltstamped spine title. Top edge red. First edition. In his fourth travel book the British writer Waugh (1903-66), who was commissioned by the Daily Mail to cover events in Ethiopia in August 1935, makes a case for the Italian intervention in the country, presenting "a lucid and interesting narrative of personal experience, and useful as a minority defense of Italian occupation and attack on British policy" (Morris/Dooley). Interestingly enough, a printed sheet of paper denying the oil magnate Francis William Rickett access to travel facilities to Persia and the states on the Persian Gulf is loosely enclosed. On the journey from Port Said, Waugh met Rickett, who was dispatched by the African Exploration & Development Company to conduct secret negotiations with the Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie in pursuit of a concession. While Waugh was up country, sidetracked by another story, Rickett was conferring with government officials in Addis Ababa at the dead of night. After a week of to-ing and fro-ing, papers were signed by which about half the nation's subsoil rights - an area of nearly 400,000 square km - was made over to Rickett for a period of 75 years. By the time he sailed into Suez, the story had made world headlines. Waugh, for his part, missed the scoop and was sacked. - A few marginal notes in pencil, some of them highlighting passages that also appear in Waugh's 1938 novel "Scoop", a satire of sensationalist journalism and foreign correspondents. Newspaper clipping with excerpts of a review of "Waugh in Abyssinia" from the Times Literary Supplement of 7 November 1936 is loosely enclosed. - Spine and lower inner hinges slightly worn. Still a good copy. - Morris/Dooley, Evelyn Waugh: a reference guide 15. OCLC 807259442.

First edition. Original red cloth in pictorial, second state, dustwrapper. A near fine copy in a very good dustwrapper, which has slight tanning to the spine and wear to the spine ends. Neat internal archival repair to closed tears to the dustwrapper flaps. Before publication, Waugh objected to the blurb on front flap of the dustwrapper. Longmans attempted to recall all copies hitherto distributed and stuck a new inner flap over the offending one, with very few of the uncorrected state surviving.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The first UK printing, published by Longmans, Green and Co., London in 1936. The book is in Very Good++ or better condition with just some very light mottling to the boards. The gilt titling remains bright. Free from inscriptions and erasures. The red top stain is present. The WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good+ condition. It is the very elusive first state wrapper. Some edge-wear with loss at the spine ends and a small chip to the upper front panel. Some light toning to the spine and mild staining to the rear spine fold. Splitting to the spine folds with some tape reinforcement to the verso. The John French wrapper artwork remains striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. Before publication, Waugh objected to the publisher's blurb on the front flap of the wrapper. Longmans attempted to recall all copies hitherto distributed and stuck a card with revised printed text over the offending blurb on the front flap. This is one of the very few copies with the uncorrected wrapper that has survived. This copy refers to Mr Waugh went to Addis Ababa as a war correspondent, but failed to see very much of war . It is thought that only a handful of copies exist with this preliminary state wrapper with only two copies as such have appeared at auction in the last 20 years. A scarce survivor.
