About This Item
London: William Heinemann, (1932).. First edition, second state, 8vo, (x), 307, (1) pp. Original black cloth, some light marks and scuffing. The initial issue featured the character "Q.C. Savory", which prompted the threat of libel action by J.B. Priestley unless changes were made. This copy, as with almost all of them, has the character's name changed to "Quin Savory", although one instance has been missed, to p.142.
