An exceptional first edition (1926) of A Dictionary of Modern English Usage by H.W. Fowler, published by Oxford at the Clarendon Press. 

This rare copy comes with a fascinating bundle of original newspaper and magazine clippings from the 1930s, including a 1937 Radio Times article on BBC pronunciation, a tribute to Fowler as a "lexicographical genius," and various curated notes on spelling, usage, and English idiom. These ephemeral items offer a remarkable insight into how Fowler’s work was received and discussed in his own time.
