Winifred Duke - Tales of Hate - William Hodge, 1927, Signed First Edition.

London, William Hodge, 1927. First Edition. First Impression. Hardback. A very good copy. Inscribed by the author, one presumes, thus: 'To dear Winifred, with much love from an affectionate old friend Winnie, in remembrance of her visit to Station House. June 1927.' An easy to find book, but uncommon both inscribed and in jacket. Contains a novel and two shorter pieces. In Hubin. Some wrinkling to the jacket and a little transfer from the red boards - probably got a little damp as some point. A couple of short tears and some toning, particularly to the spine. Endpapers similarly show dye transfer, but also some foxing. Newspaper clipping tipped to front pastedown. Some foxing to block edges. [8558, Hyraxia Books].
