Ralph Straus - The Dust Which is God - Samurai Press, 1907, First Edition.

Norwich, Samurai Press, 1907. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. Short tale involving reanimation. Our protagonist Matrafax meets a stranger Diaphantus after his experiment fails. Diaphantus takes him to the 'First World', a barren place presumably where life first formed. Later Diaphantus takes Martafax to the Third World, a heaven of sorts, with marble cities and that sort of gubbins, wherein we have a bit of a fairly light philosophical meander. Uncommon. Some separation at the front hinge, some toning to the spine. Foxed. A nice copy. [11306, Hyraxia Books].
