Description
Boston/New York: Lothrop, Lee and Shephard Company. Very Good. 1936. First American Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [light external soiling and moderate shelfwear, small vintage bookseller's rubber stamp (Bertrand Smith's Book Store, Long Beach, California) at bottom corner of front pastedown]. English novel, about something or other -- artists, some kind of school, people having affairs with one another, the staff of an art magazine. (Do you have any idea how hard it is to synopsize a novel when you can't find any reviews, and the dust jacket is missing? I'd read the darn thing if I had time, but alas.) The author was a longtime educator, who taught in Japan, China, India and England; his most famous book was "The Sexual Impulse," published in England in 1935, which led to the prosecution of his publishers for obscenity. Is it worth noting that the publishers misspell their own name on the title page and copyright page ("Shephard" instead of "Shepard")? They got it right on the binding .
