Benson Herbert - Bedtime - Lloyd Cole, 1944, Signed First Edition.

London, Lloyd Cole, 1944. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A fine book in a very good jacket. Signed by the author, and dated to the half title / endpaper. What promises to be an excellent book from the blurb and protagonist's name alone: "The versatile Mr. Herbert, after giving us tales of murder and mystery, now turns to light comedy. Read how Dick Hawes wakes up from a severe attack of alcohol to find four girls in his bedroom." Sounds amazing. Some chipping to the jacket edges and corners. The book itself is in excellent condition. No copies located in commerce. Two copies of the second edition located in UK libraries. [11490, Hyraxia Books].
