Aldington's literary autobiography; there was no British edition until 1968. Especially valuable for his discussion of Pound, Amy Lowell, and the origins of Imagism. Though issued by a mainstream publisher, Life for Life's Sake is one of those unaccountably uncommon books of the Wartime era, not frequently seen in dustwrapper.
