LEACOCK, Stephen. Winnowed Wisdom
LEACOCK, Stephen. Winnowed Wisdom. London: John Lane at The Bodley Head. 1926. 8vo. pp. [xvi], 264, [viii] ads. First edition. Publisher’s grey cloth lettered in blue with ruling to front board and spine. Very good, the cloth clean, the binding tight and square, light spots of foxing to the textblock edges, fine internally but for a little offsetting to endpapers. The striking dust jacket designed by John Hassall complete, priced at 5/- net at spine, spine a trifle darkened, loss to spine head and edges of rear panel, smaller chips and nicks to corners but very well-preserved nearing the one-hundred-year mark.
Another example of Leacock’s sharp, satirical work, with a rather amusing preface to which he dedicates the book to the average men of Britain, or average women, and eventually neither. John Hassall’s excellent designs accompanied several of his work.
