Three ALSs by Waugh, all concerning the fine binding of his works by Sangorski & Sutcliffe: an ALS signed "Evelyn Waugh," one page, Combe Florey House letterhead, August 31, in part: "Mess. Chapman & Hall tell me that you have no record of having bound Men at Arms and Officers and Gentlemen. I therefore send you one volume to be used as the model for binding the printed sheets (not MS) of Unconditional Surrender…On second thought I enclose both volumes. I shall like them stamped with my coat-of-arms on both sides"; an ALS signed "E.W." on a personal Combe Florey House correspondence card, in part: "Safely received, 3 parcels containing MSS of 'Men at Arms,' 'Officers & Gentlemen,' and 'Unconditional Surrender.' Also bound printed volumes (with arms added) of the first two of these. Not received the bound printed edition of 'Unconditional Surrender"; and an ALS signed "E.W." on a personal Piers Court correspondence card, in part: "Men at Arms, Officers & Gentlemen: one binding of the former; two of the latter. Full morocco, silk ends, leather joints etc." In fine condition. Accompanied by a retained carbon copy of one of Sangorski & Sutcliffe's replies to Waugh, regarding the binding of Men at Arms, Officers and Gentlemen, and Unconditional Surrender.
