Description
Good-bye to all that, an autobiography. London: Jonathan Cape, 1929. First edition, first issue, 8vo, frontispiece portrait and 7 plates (1 double), orange cloth gilt, dust-jacket, price clipped with some holes and chipping
Footnote
First issue has references to Spiritualism on p.290 and Siegfried Sassoon's poetic letter on pp.341-343. Siegfried Sassoon was apparently unhappy with the inclusion of these passages and the work was withdrawn from circulation. A second edition without these sections was later issued.
