LEWIS, Wyndham (1882-1957). The Apes of God. London: The Arthur Press, 1930. 4to. [ii], [1]-[628] pp. With signed limitation leaf inserted at front. Publisher?s full beige buckram, spine lettered in blue; publisher?s printed dust jacket (cloth spine a bit dull, some soiling to boards, some rubbing to binding, some foxing in text, several gutters overopened or starting (not surprising due to the weight of this book); dust jacket toned, chipped, soiled, worn). Good. FIRST EDITION #449/750 COPIES SIGNED BY LEWIS. A satire of the London literary scene, poking fun at Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, the Sitwells, Virginia Woolf, and members of the Bloomsbury group.
