WAUGH (EVELYN)
Vile Bodies, FIRST EDITION, AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED "For Tony with deep respect from Evelyn" on front free endpaper, frontispiece printed in red and black, publisher's cloth, 8vo, Chapman & Hall, 1930
Footnotes
"The great success of Vile Bodies meant that Evelyn was immediately and increasingly 'lionized" (Christopher Sykes, Evelyn Waugh, 1975, p.101), increasingly wooed by London's fashionable set such as Nancy Cunard and Lord Berners, but still very much aware of the importance of the earliest supporters such as Anthony Powell, graced with "deep respect" in this inscribed copy.
