This copy is one of the rare ‘Guild Books Continental Editions’. It was first published in 1945 by Eyre & Spottiswoode. The paperbound Guild Books series (published between 1941 and 1955) was intended to compete with Penguin Books using ‘collective’ publishing. The British Publishers Guild, initially led by George Harrap, consisted of publishers banding together to publish cheaply in a popular format.
