Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The First UK printing published by The Bodley Head, London : 1950. 8vo, pale blue-grey cloth lettered in dark green to spine; together in the unclipped wrapper (9s. net) featuring a design by Holland, and a black and white photograph of the author to… the lower flap; The BOOK is a Very Good+ copy, patches of light ghosting and spotting to the backstrip; lightly spotted to the outer edges of text block; endpapers faintly offset; with a couple of scratches to the final page and paste-down leading to some closed tears; the Very Good+ WRAPPER is evenly toned, with some darkening to edges and lower fold; lightly rubbed at the edges, with a little subsequent nicking, creasing and chipping to the spine ends. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. First issue of the author's third novel. This copy comes complete with a TLS on Mortimer's headed notepaper, signed to a Peter Dyson and stating 'I was pleased to add to your autograph collections', as well as a postcard showing the oil portrait of the author at the National Portrait gallery, also signed 'with best wishes, John Mortimer'. John Mortimer (1923-2009) was a barrister, dramatist, screenwriter and author who worked under Laurie Lee in WWI, writing scripts for propaganda documentaries. His first published novel was based on these experiences, working for the Crown Film Unit, though it is perhaps for his later writings, inspired by his own work as a barrister and his father's career in the same field (the Horace Rumpole short stories), that he is best known today. 'Answer yes or no' utilises a similar theme, and follows Ransom, a struggling barrister, and his experiences with love and divorce in the courtroom. Scarce with these attributes.

4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. For information regarding this renowned firm of silversmiths, which possessed the royal warrant and mounted a sumptuous display at the Great Exhibition, see Norman Mosley Penzer, 'Paul Storr, 1771-1844, Silversmith and Goldsmith' (1954), and John Culme, 'Directo…ry of Gold and Silversmiths' (2000). The nature of the '"Australian" implement' which is the subject of the letter is unclear, but information on Hunt's partner's connection with Australia is to be found in L. W. Dimmick, 'London to Lismore: The Roskell Family in Australia' (2006). The letter begins: 'My dear Sir, | I asked Mr. Roskell some time ago about the stone implement which he brought from Australia. He asked me to describe it to you generally as having been found in the colony. As he told me that he had found it himself I asked for the exact place but he appeared disinclined to tell me, therefore please to treat it as an "Australian" implement.' Hunt will endeavour to obtain some of the items for the recipient's 'loan to the Soc of Antiquaries', and he has asked 'a cousin of mine', who has 'some from the northeast of Ireland', to lend them as well. Employing an appropriate metaphor, he expessess regret that 'your cloud has not yet shown its silver lining'. He also notes the recipient's 'anxiety'. He has himself 'seen nothing good lately and the earth seems to produce nothing but wars and Communions: the latter, I am almost glad to say, consigned to it again'. He 'took the liberty of using a small piece of Danish gold you kindly lent me once as a text for a sermon which you will find in a small contribution of our's to the Exhibition'. He ends in the hope that the recipient 'will soon meet with a happy solution of all your difficulties'.
