Maugham (William Somerset) The Explorer first edition first issue blind-stamped “presentation copy” to head of title with publisher`s pencil note “12/12/07” indicating publication date 4pp. advertisements original petrol blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and upper cover and author`s device on upper cover but this copy without the publisher`s blind-stamp on lower cover called for by Stott minor rubbing to extremities and slight pulling but overall a very good copy [Stott A10a] 8vo Heinemann 1908 [1907].

Maugham (William Somerset) Of Human Bondage first English edition 16pp. advertisements hinges pulling slightly with splitting to rear endpapers original petrol blue cloth lettered in gilt with author`s device in gilt on upper cover and publisher`s device in blind on lower rubbed at joints and corners a few very small abrasions early dust-jacket with price-sticker 3`6 on spine browned at spine rubbed at fore-edges with some chipping and minor loss to corners and spine ends [Stott A21b] 8vo Heinemann 1915. *** The first English edition of possibly Somerset Maugham`s most famous work; this edition was printed from plates made from the American type. The dust-jacket is contemporary to the publication as it lists the same 6` titles on the rear panel as the page facing the book`s title-page but it has the price-sticker on it with 3`6 whilst Stott calls for 6` and this has a differing number of 1` titles listed on the inside front flap than called for by Stott. The matter of a suppressed edition of the dust-jacket being identifiable from the side of Philip Carey`s club-foot illustrated on the upper panel of the jacket is it seems somewhat moot as certainly some subsequent impressions (examples of which are included in the following lots) also still have the club foot the wrong way round.

Maugham (William Somerset) Cæsar`s Wife first edition signed by the author with one line inscription to “Violet” on half-title original red buckram spine slightly sunned otherwise very good 1922; and 2 of the first wrappered editions of the same one blind-stamped “presentation copy” the other with Samuel French`s representation fee note mounted on verso of title [Stott A26] 8vo Heinemann (3) *** Probably inscribed to Fay Compton who played Violet in this play when it began its run of 241 performances from March 1919. The brief inscription reads “W. Somerset Maugham 1922 / Violet let us hope for the best”. Fay Compton was seen by many to have made the play a triumph the author himself stating “[it will] remain to me a pleasing memory for the beautiful performance that Miss Fay Compton gave in the part of Violet.” [Collected Plays]. Alternatively it could possibly be Violet Hunt with whom Somerset Maugham had a relationship.(3)
