About this Item

First US edition, hardcover, inscribed by Jullian with an ink drawing of Dorian Grey on the half title page, the binding has a bit of flex and sits at a lean, but remains firm throughout, and the book also has bumps to the spine ends and cover corners, a small ding to the head of the front, and mild smudging to the edges of the text block with sunning to the head. Overall, this is a solid, bright, Very Good copy in a like, unclipped dust jacket, which has bumps with creasing to the spine ends and corners, short tears to the spine ends and edges, sunning to the spine, and rubbing to the covers.

About this title

Synopsis

'..a biographer of supreme intelligence and industry, since the bibliography is immense and he has delved into it with extraordinary taste and imagination.' - The Spectator

'An excellent book, detailed where detail was still needed, sensibly perfunctory where almost everything possible has already been told and said.' - The Observer

'M. Jullian's book succeeds in keeping the reader's interest unflaggingly alive.' - The Economist
