W H Allen, Hill Street, London - 1977 hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾", with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, & barcode. Firm binding. Lean to spine. GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket Rupert Croft-Cooke's final autobiographical volume deals with his return home after many years abroad. He writes "Perhaps … some inquisitive researcher studying life in the twentieth century with all its triviality and old-fashioned ideas of progress to whom this series, discovered under several tons of more important bibliographia, might be welcome as lighter reading while he goes through the egomaniac mass of autobiography of this century." So much for self-appraisal … although readers of his earlier books doubtlessly diasagree.
