cloth. Laurence A161b. Marvelously INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on 
the half title page: "The misprints in this book are so/horrible that I 
cannot decently inscribe/it to anybody ; and I return it to/W. Allan 
Roos accordingly with/a suggestion that he pitch it into the/dustbin./G. 
Bernard Shaw 27/5/22." Front joint with a two-inch repaired tear at the 
top; both hinges cracked but tight with a rather crude repair to the 
rear. A Good copy without dustwrapper, but with a Fine inscription.
