About this Item

Near Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Second printing (b.3.50). Fully-bound in black cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt. Octavo. 190pp. There is mild bumping to the spine-ends and a slight bit of tanning to the endpapers. Otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. Other than its corners being neatly clipped (although the original price is still intact), the dustjacket -- glossy in a new mylar sleeve -- is fine: no chips, soiling, spine-fading, or tears. An excellent copy of this title. ".'The Cocktail Party' is Mr. Eliot's first play since 'The Family Reunion' (1939), and his first verse since 'Four Quartets' (1943). The London drawing-room of Edward and Lavinia Chamberlayne, whose marriage is breaking up, is the setting of all but one scene in the play. Act Two takes place in the consulting room of a psychiatrist." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile.
