GALSWORTHY, John. A Modern Comedy (SIGNED)
A Modern Comedy, John Galsworthy. 1929. London: William Heinemann. 8vo. First edition, second impression, printed in the same month as the first print. This copy inscribed by Galsworthy at ffep, “To [-] from John”. There was a signed limited edition printed simultaneously as the first, so signed and inscribed copies are much scarcer. This is likely an association copy, given the author has used his first name. From the library of George C Hopkinson, a Yorkshire textile businessman and very keen supporter of Yorkshire artists and writers, and an editor of the Heaton Review. Condition: Near fine in very good dust jacket, price to spine panel, some loss at spine head, smaller chips at forecorners and other edges, the spine and other panels quite harshly toned. Green cloth clean with a few minor bumps, green topstain bright. Binding tight and square. Internally clean, a little offset toning at ffep, small bookseller sticker. First twenty or so pages with a faint crease at corner, else fine.
