The World of Suzie Wong (1957)
Richard MASON
First edition. Octavo, pp383. Black cloth covered boards with original unclipped dust jacket (16s. net).
First printing of the book that started it all and made Wanchai nightlife world famous.
Book has some browning to top edge, a couple of stains to fore edge and a Cape Town bookseller’s ink stamp to the bottom of the front end paper. Jacket is a little worn to edges and chipped to spine extremities, grubby on rear panel but presents well and is better than usually found. Overall VG- book in a VG jacket.
