By Heard, H.F.
New York: The Vanguard Press. Very Good in Very Good dj. (c.1947). First American Edition. Hardcover. [a good sound copy, with just minor wear to the extremities, a small brown spot on the fore-edge; the jacket has a bit of paper loss at the top of the spine, very shallow chipping at the base of the spine, and one tiny surface-scrape mark on the front panel]. Dystopian novel by the author of "A Taste for Honey." "The world of 1997 is held in bondage by two tyrannical masters: one, a fabulous despot of the underworld, and the other, the equally treacherous tyrant of the upper world. A perverse series of circumstances traps one man in the relentless duel between these two sinister figures." Jacket blurb by Christopher Isherwood, who calls it "an altogether extraordinary book." .
