1918

1918. New York: The Century Co., 1918.
Sm. 8vo, 185 pp. Four black and white plates. Publisher's tan cloth lettered in red. Backstrip lettering faded, boards lightly soiled, binding cocked, contents clean; very good.
ยง First American edition, inscribed by West on the front free endpaper, "Elizabeth Kirkham / August 1918 / Best wishes / from Rebecca West". In addition, an amusingly scrappy autograph note is affixed to the front pastedown: "Rebecca West with best wishes from Rebecca West (This is what four days of America did to me!) To Dorothy Kirkham. (Yes! I've done it right now, I think!)." West's debut novel described a shell-shocked officer's return from the First World War. It was later made into a film starring Alan Bates.
