Libro
Soft cover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Paper-covered stapled booklet. Condition: Good, with general shelfwear, some sunning and light soiling to covers. Staples are beginning to rust in centre, affecting the immediate surrounding area. The paper covers have a vertical one inch split to top of spine. Previous owners bookplate on reverse of front 32pp. This extremely scarce pamphlet is one of an edition of three thousand copies which sold out immediately on publication. It represented the views of a selection of British authors on the Spanish civil war, including Aldous Huxley, Evelyn Waugh, Vita Sackville-West, Ezra Pound and Arthur Machen. It was written in an era when the media was beginning to have more power than ever before with the general public.

Libro Prima edizione
Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. 2 Vols. set :Vol.1 'Authors Take Sides on the Spanish War'. The sole UK printing published by Left Review, London in 1937. The pamphlet BOOK is in Very Good condition. Original printed yellow and red card covers. A few ink stains to the front cover with some light age related markings. The corners are gently bumped and lightly rubbed. Internally the 32 pages are staple bound and the binding remains tight. Some early light rusting to the staples internally. Light spotting throughout due the quality of the paper stock used, a little heavier in places. Free from inscriptions and erasures. A scarce survivor of what was a cheap production. The book is protected in a removable Mylar archival cover. A very scarce pamphlet containing contributions from 148 British and Irish authors on their personal stance on the Spanish Civil War. The question posed is: 'Are you for, or against, the legal Government and the People of Republican Spain? Are you for, or against, Franco and Fascism?' and is signed off by Aragon, W. H. Auden, Jean Richard Bloch, Nancy Cunard, Brian Howard, Heinrich Mann, Ivor Montagu, Pablo Neruda, Ramon Sender, Stephen Spender, and Tristan Tzara. The publisher states its limitations within a six penny pamphlet, i.e. that it has indeed selected the responses, likely based on its own motivation (though it does say the responses herein are representative) but more so from the weight of the authors themselves. Indeed, it contains most of the powerhouse names of British and Irish literature; W. H. Auden, Samuel Beckett (who perhaps satirically simply writes ¡UPTHEREPUBLIC! , Cyril Connolly, Alastair Crowley (with his name misspelt) , C. Day Lewis, Liam O Flaherty, Ford Madox Ford, David Garnett, Victor Gollancz, Aldous Huxley, Storm Jameson, John Lehmann, Sylvia Pankhurst, Herbert Read, Stephen Spender, Olaf Stapledon, Leonard Woolf and many others. T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Vera Brittain, H. G. Wells, and Vita Sackville-West among others declare themselves neutral, the latter questioning the publication s terminology in the question regarding a legal government. And against the government appears Arthur Machen, Edmund Blunden, Evelyn Waugh and others. An extremely scarce pamphlet, a rare survivor in all senses, which gave audiences direct insights into ideas and worlds some authors seldom expressed themselves in and a hugely important booklet. JSIC reports 13 holdings at institutions. Vol.2 : Writers Take Sides On The Question : Are you for, or are you against Franco and Fascism? Letters about the War in Spain from 418 American Authors .
