Many Dimensions by Charles Williams

This is the 1947 Faber and Faber edition of this title. The dustjacket shows some wear and cracking to the edges, and the spine shows some slight fading. A small ink inscription on the top of the title page reads "read first time, March 28+29, 1962 (Sarasota)". A cunning anagram, no doubt. The writer also made some markings in blue ink to show the passages that he/she was particurlarly struck by. The binding, while solid, has a slight tilt to the spine. All in all, a handsome (and rare) copy, with enough small blemishes to keep the price down. Its price is 22 dollars, postage paid to anywhere in the United States.
