‎Cakes and Ale or The Skeleton in the Cupboard First State‎

‎London: William Heinemann 1930. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. Bright first impression "First Published 1930" of Maugham's best novel. 8vo: 4270pp. Publisher's Prussian blue linen-grain cloth front cover and spine lettered in gold front cover blocked in black with author's device and back cover with publisher's windmill; cream-colored dust jacket printed in red and black. Near Fine dust-soiled top edge spine ends rubbed gilt on one letter slightly flaked; virtually pristine first-issue jacket with publisher's "7/6 net" on spine panel. "It is generally assumed that the first issue of the first edition consists of copies with a missing 't' on p. 147 line 14. This however is not an issue point but a state of the printing. It would appear that the error was rectified at some stage in the run. There is also a misprint on p. 181 line 4 'in' instead of 'it' and a dropped letter-'I'-on p. 63 line 22. These later misprints appear to be common to the whole of the first printing. . . . and they obviously have no bibliographical significance." Stott A41. Many collectors and catalogers have misconstrued Stott's bibliographic description of this title. It is the "later misprints" only on pp. 63 and 181 that "have no bibliographical significance." The missing "t" on p. 147 "rectified as some stage in the run" while not an issue point is still indicative of the first state as here. First serialized in Harper's Magazine beginning in the March issue of 1930 and concluding in July. The story set in the Whitstable of the author's youth"has often been read as a roman-à-clef with Ashenden as Maugham Kear as Hugh Walpole Driffield as Thomas Hardy and Rosie as Sue Jones. Maugham initially denied these identifications but increasingly encouraged them in later life. Yet it is clear retrospectively that each character represents an aspect of Maugham's own experience: Ashenden his unhappy childhood; Driffield the aging celebrity; Kear the eagerly self-promoting author and Rosie victim of sexual scandal unmentionable in polite society."

‎Cakes and Ale; or the Skeleton in the Cupboard‎

‎London: William Heinemann 1930. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" Original blue cloth stamped in gilt has slight fading and wear; slight browning to edges. PROVENANCE: With bookplate of Robert A. Bevan which the British Museum ascribed to Ethelbert White. "The print is not catalogued in either of Hilary Chapman's catalogues of White's prints. However the signature style seems to date it to the early period of White's career around the early 1920s; White also made another wood-engraved bookplate c. 1926; see Hilary Chapman 'Ethelbert White 1891-1972: painter printmaker: with a catalogue of the wood engravings' Bicester 2003 cat. no. 38 information from Hilary Chapman. The bull features in the Bevan coat of arms information from Patrick Baty. Shorthorn cattle were bred at Boxted Hall Essex where R A Bevan lived; see Janet Cooper ed. 'A History of the County of Essex': X Lexden Hundred Part including Dedham Earls Colne and Wivenhoe 2001 pp. 62-64 for 'Boxted: Economic History'. White was a close friend of Bevan's parents Robert Polhill Bevan and Stanislawa de Karlowska information from Frances Stenlake" British Museum. Bevan was a prominent ad man once described as "the personification of the greatest days of English advertising". He was the son of Camden School painter Robert P. Bevan He was behind slogans such as "Guinness is Good for You" and was the inspiration for Mr Ingleby in Dorothy L. Sayers' 1933 thriller Murder Must Advertise. The book is the 2nd state p. 147 corrected. William Heinemann hardcover‎
