First edition in first state dustjacket of Waugh’s classic satire on tabloid journalism. The book is the first edition in its second state with the dropped ‘s’ from ‘as’ at the end of page 88 and the incomplete ‘8’ in the publication date on the verso of the title page. The jacket is in the first state with the ‘Daily Beast’ masthead which had to be removed after the threat of legal action from the owners of the typographically similar Daily Express. The jacket is not price clipped but has been repriced with a contemporary ‘3/6’ Chapman and Hall red paper over-label, with slight offsetting on the flyleaf opposite. The jacket is good plus with some loss at the tail of the faded spine and discolouration to the lower panel of the jacket. The book has no ownership inscriptions but very heavy browning to the title page which diminishes over the next few leaves. Browning and spotting to the foreedge. A small dent to the top edge. Overall a very good copy of a desirable book in the best version of the jacket with the mock newspaper masthead.
