Book Condition — Very Good: Some curling at the corners of the original cloth binding, but otherwise in beautiful condition. Gilt lettering and decorative artwork remains clear and pops with colour. Some wear and spots of foxing on the page edges. Otherwise clean and tightly bound.
First edition, first printing. A satirical sequel that follows the further adventures of the charismatic and bored "Card" of the Five Towns, Edward Henry ("Denry") Machin. Seeking new excitement, Denry leaves his provincial life for London, where he plunges into the chaotic world of Edwardian theater by financing and managing the construction of a lavish new venue called the Regent. The novel centers on the humorous clash of cultures, as Denry uses his straightforward, entrepreneurial cunning to navigate the complex world of temperamental actors, high-stakes finance, and the sophisticated intrigues of the capital's artistic elite.
