Maiden Voyage

First US edition. Hardback in dust jacket. 303pp. Publisher’s grey cloth boards with red titles to spine and upper board. Endpapers, frontis-portrait and title page designed by the author. Jacket rubbed and a little chipped to spine ends; tape reinforcement to reverse. *** A huge influence on William Burroughs, Denton Welch (1915-1948) is otherwise a somewhat undervalued writer. Maiden Voyage is his first book. This is the first US printing; the same sheets were used for the second UK edition.
