London, Arthur Press, 1930. A massive satirical novel in which Lewis skewers the British liberal literary culture of the 1920s, in particular the Bloomsbury group. This is one of 750 numbered copies, done for subscribers, and signed by the author. Endpages and page edges foxed, a stray pen mark to lower edges and a bit of soiling to the page edges at the lower corners from the bulk of the book; still a near fine copy in a good dust jacket with multiple internal tape repairs and strengthenings and heavily rubbed folds. Ezra Pound called this novel the most important book of the 20th century, ahead of even Ulysses. [#013713] SOLD
