New York: Oxford University Press. NF/VG. 1953. 1st Edition. Hardcover; 1st Printing. 54, 90. 535549 . 1st edition/1st printing. Near fine book (blue cloth binding with silver lettering on front and spine; clean, straight and tight; pages are clean and tight with no marks or tears) in a very good, price intact dust jacket (clean and bright; there is light rubbing and some wear to edges and corners, one very small tear on lower back panel). Rarely do graceful ease and wisdom blend so happily as in these pages where a man of consummate good taste and charm discourses lightly on important matters -- on interesting, worthwhile books and on the men and women who write them....from dj. ; 8 x 5.5 inches; 277 pages .
