Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1936.
First edition. 8vo. Orange cloth paperback. A very good copy indeed.
Published by the Left Book Club. Written by a wealthy English socialist who was convicted of spying for the USSR. "A remarkable communist, with whom I made friends at this time, was Wilfred Macartney, the author of a book called Walls Have Mouths, which had made a strong impression on me. It was an account of his experiences in prison, where he had served a long sentence for a clumsy attempt at espionage." [A J Ayer, Part of My Life]
