[Rarebooks] FS - Leon Edel, Sylvia Beach , T.S. Eliot all in one

[GREENFIELD BOOKS]

*McGREEVY, Thomas. /T. E. ELIOT A Study/*. Bound in decorated pale 
yellow and green paper over boards. Chatto & Windus, London. 1931. 1st 
edition, small 8vo, pp. 71. A "Dolphin Books" title.

This is an interesting association copy. It is signed by Leon Edel, the 
great Henry James scholar, on the front free endpaper, with the 
notation, in his hand, "Paris 1930" (Edel would have been about 23). On 
the rear pastedown is the distinctive bookseller's ticket of Sylvia 
Beach's famous Shakespeare and Company, 12, rue de l'Odean, Paris. Thus, 
it is reasonable to conclude that Edel purchased this book from Miss 
Beach's establishment at about the time that James Joyce, Gertrude 
Stein, T. S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, and other famous writers were 
passing through. This copy is a bit worn at the board edges; else in 
very good condition. The original "dolphin" dust jacket has not been 
clipped, but it is chipped along the edges, with moderate wear at the 
folds, and light soiling; else in good condition.

Price:  $50.00.
