Very scarce with the wrapper : In exceptional condition

Lewis, Wyndham ~ Paleface : The Philosophy Of The ‘Melting-Pot’ : With The Publisher’s Promotional Flyer

Chatto and Windus, London : 1929

The First UK printing published by Chatto and Windus, London in 1929. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. A hint of pushing at the lower spine tip and a very light bump to the lower rear edge. Light toning to the text-block and a little offsetting to the blank end-papers. Free from inscriptions and erasures. The fragile paper WRAPPER is complete and is in near Fine condition. Light toning to the spine and a hint of edge-wear. A neat tape repair to the verso of a small closed tear to the upper front edge. The wrapper artwork by Wyndham Lewis looks very striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. Loosely inserted is the 4 page publisher's promotional flyer with reviews by Leonard Woolf and Rebecca West amongst others. A classic Wyndham Lewis title which is increasingly elusive and more-so in such exceptional condition. By far, the nicest copy of this title that we have handled to date.
