Item description from seller

The very smart first edition of this anthology from The Week-End Review, with a possible publisher's presentation inscription, complete with the original unclipped dust wrapper. In the publisher's original blue cloth binding. Complete with the original unclipped dust wrapper. First edition. Illustrated with black-and-white decorations by John Armstrong (1893-1973). With an ink inscription reading "From the Publisher" to the front free endpaper, suggesting that this may have been a publisher's presentation copy, although there is no further provenance to substantiate this. An anthology of essays, poems, competitions and other pieces selected from "The Week-End Review" and compiled by its editor, Gerald Barry. Contributors include G. K. Chesterton, John Galsworthy, Gerald Gould, A. P. Herbert, Aldous Huxley, Desmond MacCarthy, Compton Mackenzie, J. B. Priestley, V. Sackville-West, and Hugh Walpole, amongst numerous others. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, lovely. The slightest trace of shelf wear to extremities and one or two very faint marks to boards. Dust wrapper lightly age-toned with the odd light handling mark and minor wear to the extremities. Internally, bright and clean, with only the occasional light mark. Near Fine. …
