[Rarebooks] FS: G.B. Shaw Letter with Reference to William Morris

[Charles Agvent]

SHAW, George Bernard. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS) with reference  to
William  Morris.  London:  17 Nov. 1928. Short letter  SIGNED  by  the
author  on  his personal stationery to H. Daus. In full: "Many  thanks
for  the quaint book on hanging. You are right about the printing. The
lengthening  and  shortening of the paragraphs to avoid white  streaks
across  the  page so greatly prolonged the labor of  proof  correction
and  increased the cost of making the corrections that I am not likely
to  face  it again; but I could not resist my desire to make the  book
look  handsomer. My association with William Morris made me fastidious
in  this  matter.  Faithfully,  G. Bernard  Shaw."  Neatly  tipped  to
cardboard  and framed under glass (8" x 6"). Faint crease from mailing
down center. Near Fine, framed.                                $850.00
