Helen Simpson - The Woman on the Beast - Heinemann, 1933, First Edition.

London, Heinemann, 1933. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. In the jacket, with the wraparound band. Three connected futuristic tales. The UK issue is quite uncommon, and I believe precedes the US issue. Simpson was an Australian writer, and the present copy has seller's sticker to the front pastedown from Australia, so presumably Heinemann exported copies to Australia - likely suggesting too why the price was clipped. Other than that the jacket has a little chipping to the spine tips, edges and corners. Some foxing to the block edges, a little marking to the boards. [10221, Hyraxia Books].
