A.L.S., with his initials E.W., to one side of his personal printed correspondence card, Combe Florey House, near Taunton, 5th September 1963, to Messrs. Sangorski & Sutcliffe. Waugh sends his correspondents some bookbinding instructions, in full, ‘You will shortly receive from the printers [the] sheet and a plate (frontispiece) of my ‘Basil Seal Rides Again’. Will you please bind in full Levant (colour immaterial) with watered silk doublures & end papers, arms on both sides, all edges gilt & burnished, key pattern tooling on bands & borders’. Hand addressed by Waugh to the verso. Some very light, minimal age wear, VG
The London bookbinding firm of Sangorski & Sutcliffe was established in 1901 and is considered to be one of the most important bookbinding companies of the 20th century.
Basil Seal Rides Again, a long short story, was to be Waugh’s final work of fiction.
