Third impression, issued in November 1929, the same month as the first state and the subsequent second (expurgated) state. This copy signed by the author on the dedication leaf and dated the year after publication. 8vo. 446pp. Red cloth lettered in gold at the spine. With a portrait frontispiece and seven photographs, maps and reproductions. Top edge lightly dust soiled and with a tiny trace of light narrow browning to the free endpapers. A single tiny nick to the cloth at the head of the backstrip. Former owner name and date (1943) neatly inked to the head of the front free endpaper, and with a tiny dealer plate to the base of the front pastedown. Very good indeed in non-price-clipped dust wrapper, lightly marked, soiled, tanned at the spine panel, and split into three parts at the natural folds with some careful subsequent restoration to rejoin them, leaving seven small areas of loss to the spine panel. Laid-in are three type-written sheets, the first of which details the full unexpurgated text that was found on p.290 of the first state edition, an inclusion which so incensed Sassoon that he and Graves barely spoke for many years. The other two sheets comprise the full text Sassoon's 'verse letter' to Graves ('the most terrible of his war poems') which originally appeared on pp.341-343 and was also excised from all subsequent states. Signed copies of Graves' celebrated (and sometimes vilified) Great War memoir are scarce indeed. See Higginson A32.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover.
