The Death of the Heart

Elizabeth Bowen · Victor Gollancz (London) · 1938

The Death of the Heart was a Book Society choice, and copies of the true Gollancz first are found with the official 'The Book Society' bookplate pasted to the front free endpaper, sometimes carrying Bowen's signature. That bookplate is NOT a book-club-reprint tell: it appears in the publisher's own first edition and should not be mistaken for a club issue. Later Gollancz printings are stated on the copyright-page verso.
