Item description from seller

First edition hardback of Four Crowded Years: The Diaries of Auberon Waugh 1972–1976. This copy is a signed presentation and association copy, with a clear literary provenance. The book is inscribed by Auberon Waugh: “For Philip Dosse in gratitude and affection from his protégé” Auberon Waugh Combe Florey, October 1976 The inscription establishes a personal and professional relationship between Auberon Waugh and the recipient. The named recipient, Philip Dosse, was publisher and editor associated with Books and Bookmen, the influential British literary magazine. This inscription confirms Dosse as a mentor and publishing figure within Waugh’s literary circle. A publisher’s publication-date slip is laid in, dated 4th November 1976, confirming period presentation. The book comes directly from the family of Philip Dosse, providing a clear and continuous chain of ownership. A genuine association copy of notable literary interest, far scarcer and more desirable than a standard signed example.
