First edition

London: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1929. First Edition. First edition in English, prior to the ubiquitous American edition, copies of which pile up for sale like newspapers on the doorsteps of dead homeowners. Fine in near fine, bright, and fastidiously preserved dustjacket. A superior copy of the first seriously detached view of WWI., still the most famous, and maybe still the best. Custom half buffalo box. Item #1120
