In memory of old times" to front free endpaper, original cloth, slight bumping to spine tips and corners, dust-jacket, spine tips and corners chipped, spine a little darkened, finger-soiling to panels, extremities rubbed, 8vo, New Beacon Books, 1976. *** A presentation copy of James' only novel, first published in 1936, the first novel by a black West Indian to be published in England. We have been unable to trace definitively the recipient, but the inscription (using James' familiar nickname "Nello") implies a close associate of James' from his early Trotskyist years in the UK or US.
