The Sacred & Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder
If it could only be like this always always summer, always alone, the fruit always ripe and Aloysius in a good temper...
Brideshead Revisited The Sacred & Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder
Chapman & Hall, 1945.
First edition. Original red cloth in light grey dustwrapper printed in grey and red. A fine copy in a very near fine dustwrapper, exceptionally clean and crisp with just a trace of wear to the head of the spine and slight toning to the spine, though less so than is typical with this book, and the lettering unfaded. A superbly well preserved copy of this notoriously fragile wartime production.
An uncommonly bright copy of Waugh's best known and most successful work which, on account of wartime paper restrictions, is now seldom encountered in such nice condition.
