Buy this book on-line T.F.POWYS : An Interpretation of GenesisThe Viking Press Inc., New York, 1929
The first American edition, printed from the sheets of the English edition and limited to 260 numbered copies, signed by the author (this being #236). 4to. 100pp. Cream parchment lettered and ruled in gold at the spine and upper board, with a blind stamped design of twelve squares and rectangles to the upper and lower boards. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Parchment darkened at the backstrip and lightly soiled, faded and rubbed in places. A very good copy. Written in 1906 and originally privately printed in a limited edition of 100 copies a year later, Riley speculates that at least half of that print run was subsequently pulped. It was republished in 1929 by Chatto & Windus in a limited edition to 490 copies, with this noticeably smaller run produced for the US market. The English issue included a dust wrapper, but I am unaware of the existence of a jacket for this US edition, although there was a slipcase which is here absent. Riley A1[c].. Book.
