About this Item

1st Edition. Hardcover. First American Edition and Advance Review copy With the original Harcourt, Brace and Company review slip dated February 18, 1954 for $5.00 laid in. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. A near fine copy in the publisher's orange cloth covered boards, stamped silver on the spine in a beautiful Vanessa Bell dust wrapper, an almost indiscernible closed tear on the front panel.Some shelf-wear. 8vo. 356 pp. Edited and with a Preface by Leonard Woolf. A partial view of Woolf, pertaining strictly to her writing. It was not until Woolf's full Diaries were published that they were recognized as one of her literary masterpieces. A lovely copy indeed. "If Virginia Woolf at the age of 50, when she sits down to build her memoirs out of these books, is unable to make a phrase as it should be made, I can only condole with her and remind her of the existence of the fireplace, where she has my leave to burn these pages to so many black films with red eyes in them.".
