I have never seen someone's work inside the cover of another. But I have seen misprints that repeat the first fifty odd pages over & over. And books bound upside down, I cut the heart out of one & used it as my bookshop 'safe'. My copy of Klaus Mann's Mephisto, like a scratched record, never ended.

How odd. I found a second-hand copy of this and A Family Romance on the weekend. I started greedily on A Family Romance first. Not sure why. It is a hardcover, so I suppose it must be a class thing. I promise I will read your review after I devour it and A Private View.
