NY, Knopf, 1923. The first American edition of this series of short essays derived from Forster's stay in Alexandria and first published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press at Leonard's invitation. Owner name in pencil on verso of flyleaf; cloth spine-sunned and surface soiled with dampening apparent on the rear panel. Still a tight copy with clean text; about very good, lacking the dust jacket. [#019831] SOLD
