BRIDESHEAD REVISITED. The Sacred And Profane Memories Of Captain Charles Ryder.

First trade edition, first impression. Publisher's original reddish pink cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without foxing, inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has a few minor marks and a tiny chip at the head of the ever so slightly toned spine. Not price-clipped (10s 6d net to the lower front flap). A very attractive example, in entirely original condition, of a notoriously fragile wartime economy production.

The first printing of the first trade edition, preceded only by an edition of only 50 copies in paperback, printed at the author's expense for presentation to his close friends and associates, no copies of which were for sale.
