SOME PEOPLE.
Pp. [viii]+248(last blank); cr. 8vo; orange cloth, spine lettered in black, bottom edge of upper board a trifle flecked, the spine faintly discoloured (from patterning on dust wrapper); dust wrapper with gilt lettered black paper title labels on front panel and backstrip, the front panel, backstrip and edges of back panel with varying degrees of fading, edges slightly rubbed and chipped; book label of David Levine, Sydney, on upper pastedown, the free endpapers offset, a little light foxing; Constable, London, 1927. First edition. *Some People is a blend of fact and fiction, written as a series of 'biographical' essays. Ronald Firbank was the model for the character 'Lambert Orme', and Nicolson had intended to include a portrait of his wife, Vita Sackville-West, under the pseudonym 'Atalanta', but destroyed the manuscript of that section before publication, at her request.
