HOULT, Norah. Violet Ryder
HOULT, Norah. Violet Ryder. London: Elkin Mathews & Marrot. 1930. 8vo. First edition, being one of a limited edition of 800 numbered copies, this number 112. Publisher’s quarter red cloth over excellent paper-covered pattern boards, in the dust jacket matching the design to the boards. With paper label to cloth spine, jacket spine, and jacket upper front panel, with replacements to the rear endpaper.
The author’s third published book, a novella expanded from a story taken from her first published work, Poor Women!—which is currently the only book by Hoult in print. Like much of her work, she focuses here on a young employed woman and her stifling etiquette-centric mother.
A near fine copy, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square. Some very light offsetting to the endpapers, else fine throughout. The dust jacket complete, spine panel a trifle faded and title label dulled, with several shallow chips around the tips and corners, two larger but closed tears, made almost entirely discreet by the busy dust jacket design. A charming copy overall.
