Leipzig: Bernhard Tauchnitz, 1933. First Tauchnitz edition. 272 pp.

Set in a long-since disappeared Paris, Thirty Clocks Strike the Hour is one of Sackville-West’s most confounding and philosophical works. Here, the author considers time through the lens of a young boy visiting his grandmother.

Publisher’s cream wraps titled in black to spine and front wrap. Front hinge has a three inch split, rendering the front panel rather fragile. Essentially a very good, clean copy of a book that when found in its Tauchnitz “travelling library” form is often very well used indeed. Internally clean.
