Elusive first edition, first impression of;
Robert Graves, Goodbye to All That
The elusive true First Edition, First Issue. With the infamous Sassoon poem on pp.341-343, this was removed from all later impressions and editions. The story of the suppression of this issue is well documented and most copies were apparently destroyed, it is generally believed that few survived, but here is a copy in the original d/w in very good condition, not price clipped (10/6) and with only minor wear to top of spine. The book printed a poem Sassoon had written to Graves in rhyming letter form and Sassoon was mortified by this inclusion demanding the recall of the edition and the excision of the offending pages in the second impression, this was done and it is these later editions that are most frequently found. It is regarded that these honest and touching lines are some of the best Sassoon ever wrote. Original salmon pink cloth, spine gilt. Complete with the distinctive Len Lye dust wrapper which is non price-clipped, (10/6) some minor chipping to the head of spine and minor wear to edges. 448pp. It was in November of 1929 that Sassoon had written to a friend, "I deeply resent his printing my verse letter to him & shall threaten Cape with legal action (for breach of copyright) unless he undertakes to cut it out".
