Oh dear! You could well be right. The binding was not decorated or lettered and had no spine label. No idea where it went or when, but I must have sold it. Quite likely to Rota in their Savile Row days. Easy come .... I shall spend the remainder of my conscious life worrying about it.

I also bought a copy of the 1888 Walt Whitman Complete Poems & Prose, signed, at the same time from Edwards for £2. Do know where that went.

I once had a copy of Strachey's label in a book (no recollection of the title, but it was rather fetchingly bound in glazed pink moiré cloth) that I found in the large ground floor back room of Francis Edwards on Marylebone High St. Paid £1/1/-. No idea what became of the book, either.
