First edition, trade issue. 8vo. Original black cloth decorated in silver, dust jacket. London, William Heinemann

This copy is in fine condition; the dust jacket (first state) is very good-plus, with quite minor wear at the corners; though the lower corner of the front flap is diagonally cut (but leaving the price), every copy we have seen is exactly like this. This copy is inscribed twice by Maugham. On the half-title, following the book's title, he wrote "By W. Somerset Maugham his last book for Iain Littler". Then, in a different-coloured ink, and at a later time (see the Littler presentation copy of Points of View), he added after "His last book"--",as it seemed at the time. WM". In a stout, functional leatherbound case.
