Amid These Storms
Scribners, NY, 1932, first edition, The American title for Thoughts and Adventures. Printed from the English plates with changes only to prelims. Bound in the same carmine red cloth as ROVING COMMISSION, with the same proclivity to fade. Less common than the English edition and truly scarce in fine condition. 320 pages, frontis portrait. Book is tight and very clean with unfaded red cloth and shiny gilt titles, except for a little sunned strip at the base of the spine. No names, no markings, original endpapers intact. Dustjacket is unclipped, bright front cover, red areas on spine well faded as usual, some small cracks and losses at spine ends. I originally bought this book in 1998 and then supplied to Langworth who sold it to an American coillector. I have now got it back again from an auction of that collector's estate. (A39b).
