The Greater Trumps by Charles Williams - SOLD

This is a first Faber & Faber edition, published in 1954. The true first edition, published in 1932 by Victor Gollancz, is about as scarce as a good man in Congress. After Williams' death, Faber and Faber began republishing his novels- this title was the last of his fiction to be republished. This copy is in fabulous shape- the dustjacket shows no chipping or wear to the edges, though it has very light shelfwear to the spine. The cloth burgundy cover and gilt titles show no wear beneath. The pages are clean and unmarked, and the binding is very solid. All in all, a nearly perfect copy. It is sold.
