Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. First impression of the true first edition, published in 1928. With a four-page Dedication to Virginia Woolf dated April, 1927 at the fore. ***Very good in dark-blue cloth-covered boards with gilt tiles to the spine. The gilt is still nice and bright. The boards have some marks and wear commensurate with handling over the last 95 years. Edges just slightly rubbed. The back board has some light marks at the bottom edge. The spine has some fading and browning. No creases or bumps - just top corners slightly creased. No tears to the cloth. The top edge of the page block is dusty. Fore-edge is very slightly foxed, but not affecting the interior pages. Bottom edge untrimmed by the printers. Internally the book is also very good, with no inscriptions or annotations. There is some foxing affecting the first and last few pages, but otherwise the pages are clean. No creases or tears. Spine tight with no reading lean. No dustwrapper. ***196mm x130mm. 255 pages plus a 4pp. Publisher's Catalogue at the back of the book. ***Contents: Dedication, I. Introduction, II. What Civilization is Not, III. The Paragons, IV. Their Characteristics: The Sense of Values, V. Their Characteristics: Reason Enthroned, VI. Civilization and its Disseminators, VII. How to Make a Civilization. ***'Arthur Clive Heward Bell (16 Sep 1881 - 17 Sep 1964) was an English art critic, associated with formalism and the Bloomsbury Group. He developed the art theory known as significant form. Early in 1907, he met and married Vanessa Stephen, the artist sister of Virginia Woolf. They had two sons, Julian (1908-1937) and Quentin (1910-1996), who both became writers. Julian joined the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War as an ambulance driver and was killed by an enemy shell, aged 29.' (Wiki) ***A first impression of the true first edition of "Civilization" by Bloomsbury Group writer Clive Bell, husband of Vanessa Bell.
