THE HOT GATES, And Other Occasional Pieces.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles and border on black to the spine, in the Michael Ayrton illustrated dustwrapper. An excellent very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the ever so lightly rubbed dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (25s net to the lower front flap). A lovely copy.

A collection of twenty essays, reviews and magazine contributions written over the preceding decade.
