GRAVES, Robert (1895?1985). Good?Bye to All That: An Autobiography. London: Jonathan Cape, [1929]. 8vo. Portrait frontispiece, several illustrations from photographs, facsimiles and maps. Original salmon cloth; original unclipped dust jacket (chipped at corners and at ends, spine a bit darkened with some dust smudging). FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE with the unexpurgated text that includes a short passage on p. 290 regarding spiritualism and a poem by Siegfried Sassoon (pp. 341?343) that were removed shortly after publication. It is thought that less than 100 copies of the first state exist, a state which the bibliographers Higginson and Williams note ?is generally considered the collector?s impression?. ONE OF THE GREATEST LITERARY AUTOBIOGRAPHIES, including a compelling description of war on the Western Front. Higginson & Williams A32a.
