What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed
Flat signed by Chesterton to the half title.
The first UK edition, first issue, with cancel title page and cancel paged 357, and with errata slip to page 93. Sullivan, 17A.
The US first edition was published the year prior.
Chesterton's novel follows a theological dispute between two Scotsmen, allegorically exploring the debate between theism and atheism, echoing Chesterton's own public debates about religion with his friend George Bernard Shaw.
With the inscription Johanne Hayes to the front free endpaper.
A beautiful example of this signed first edition.
