Proof copy. Original grey paper wrappers lettered in black to the upper cover. A very good copy with some toning to the spine and light creases to the lower cover. [44853] £500 Rare proof copy of the final book in Waugh’s Sword of Honour trilogy. The proof shows that a number of changes were made before the printing of the first edition. These include various gram - matical and spelling errors, a rearrangement of pages 72 and 73, with the paragraph beginning ‘in penal times’ being moved earlier in the text, a change of name from Jack Spruce to Everard Spruce, and a reconsideration of the pace of Ludovic’s writing, with the character here writing “2,000 words a day” (p206) compared to “3,000 words a day” in the trade edition.
