James Hilton, 1934
HILTON, James (1900-1954). Goodbye Mr Chips! London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1934.
First edition signed by the author: perhaps his copy. Hilton's novel featuring the beloved headmaster Mr Chipping was famously written in a span of four days following a bike ride to clear his head. It was published in 1933 in the Christmas issue of the British Weekly before appearing in the Atlantic in the United States the following April and in book form by Little, Brown (also in the U.S.) later that spring.
Octavo. (Some spotting on the fore-edge). Original cloth (repair to rear hinge, slightly cocked, a little scuffed, corners bumped); pictorial dust jacket (some light soiling and smudging, some rubbing to spine panel ends and extremities); custom box.
