Maiden Voyage

First edition. Hardback in dust jacket. 303pp. Publisher’s tan cloth boards; illustrated title to spine. Endpapers, frontis-portrait and title page designed by the author. Binding slightly slanted. Slight foxing to head of text block. Jacket rubbed and chipped to spine ends with very slight loss; some discoloration. A very good copy of this wartime publication, “‘produced in complete conformity with the authorized economy standards”. *** A huge influence on William Burroughs, Denton Welch (1915-1948) is otherwise a somewhat undervalued writer. Maiden Voyage is his first book.
