London : Gramol Publications, (1930). First edition. A story which opens on a simmering Shaftesbury Avenue just before theatre time – “There were, too, the usual men of a type germane to the district after dark, aimless, like grim shadows; there were, too, the usual women of a type with aims that lead to nowhere, slowly moving shadows across the screen of night”.
Crown 8vo (19cm). 126,[ii]pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers; wrappers a little worn, nicked, and creased; inked price on upper wrapper; text a little tanned, with a corner chip not affecting text; staples rusting, but a good and serviceable copy of an uncommon title. No copy of this original edition located in any major library worldwide – and only two copies (Bodleian and British Library) of the later 1946 edition.
