The Stuff to give to the Troops. Twenty-five Tales of Army Life.

London: Jonathan Cape, 1944.

First Edition of author's first book. 164 pages. Original crimson cloth with silver title lettering spine, bright and unrubbed, with the unclipped dust-jacket, designed by Hans Tisdall, spine of which is slightly faded and mildly rubbed at corner tips; overall bright and unmarked. Without inscriptions. A fine copy. Author's first book which is seldom found in the fragile, paper jacket (due to wartime restrictions), and hardly ever in this bright and sharp condition, thus scarce.
