London. Jonathan Cape. 1936. Octavo (8 x 5 1/2). 239 pp. Illustrated by C.F. Tunnicliffe. Inscribed and signed by Roderick Haig-Brown on the half-title. Roderick Haig-Brown's inscription gives thanks to a lady on behalf of his son, Alan Roderick Haig-Brown, dated 1941. This is the first illustrated edition, and it's a re-issue of the 1932 first edition published by A. & C. Black in 1932. Attractive color illustrated end papers, and Mr. Tunnicliffe's text drawings add a nice touch as well. This book is bound in the first state binding with silver titles on the spine and it's bound in a lighter shade of green cloth than later binding states. Quite a nice book and rare signed. Bright, clean, and in fine condition in a fine dust jacket.
