SHAW, George Bernard.
An Unsocial Socialist.
First edition, third issue. Inscribed by the author on the half-title, "This is a prosaically correct copy, as may be seen by the line I have underscored on the title page. If only that line were ridiculously wrong this would be a collector's treasure. As it is I can only certify it as undistinguished. G. Bernard Shaw. 27/7/30." Shaw is responding to a typed dealer's note giving an overblown and misleading description of the book's rarity. The line he underlined on the title is corrected from earlier issues which mistated the title of Shaw's recent novel as The Confessions of Byron Cashel's Profession.
Crown octavo. Original decorated red ribbed cloth, 5 bands on the spine, green endpapers. Housed in a green half morocco slipcase and chemise. An excellent copy.
