Hardcover in jacket, as pictured - jacket art by Andrew [Andy] Warhol. First American edition, bound from British sheets. Book shows wear: tanning to light teal boards, general rubbing/bumping and the odd smudge. Internally clean and generally bright with age-related tanning.

Jacket rubbed and a touch grubby with creases to the spine, some loss to soine ends (see pics) and edgewear, $5.00 price intact. Text clean; xx, [426] pages, b/w frontispiece portrait.

PLUS, loosely inserted:

- Autograph letter signed by Miriam J. Benkovitz (Firbank's biographer and bibliographer)

- Autograph letter signed by novelist Alan Hollinghurst, who was then editing Firbank's correspondence

Both ALSs were addressed to previous owner

of book, whose bookplate can be found on

front pastedown: Alan Anderson. I am

assuming this is the founder of the Tragara Press.
