Chipping Camden, Gloucestershire: printed at The Alcuin Press, published by The Richards Press Limited, London,, 1929. Graham Greene's presentation copy First Alcuin Press edition, one of 325 sets, this copy is out-of-series, inscribed "specially for Graham and Vivienne Greene, from the printer of the book" on the limitation page, and with author Graham Greene's wife library label to the front pastedown.
