About this copy
Evelyn Waugh's sparkling satire of Fleet Street remains one of the most enjoyable comic novels of the twentieth century. Following the hapless country writer William Boot, mistakenly sent to cover a war in a distant African state, it is a wickedly funny look at newspaper rivalry, foreign correspondents and the making of a scoop. Readers return to it again and again for its wit and its unforgettable characters.
A sturdy hardback in the Uniform Edition, this copy is a 1948 printing of the book originally published in 1938, with its blue cloth binding and a clean, readable text.
Condition
- Book
- Good - A firm, sound copy with intact binding and a complete text block. The blue cloth boards show light soiling and surface wear, the spine ends are rubbed, and the pages carry some even age-related browning.

- None.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
