First edition. Stead's first novel. Set in Sydney in the 1920s, the literary historian H.M.

Melbourne, Gryphon Books, [1978]. Octavo, illustrations, pale foxing on edges, green leather with silver trout vignette on front board. First edition. One of 20 special copies, numbered and signed by the author and illustrator (and subsequently signed by the Scholes on the title-page). One of the publisher Richard Griffin's idiosyncratic limited editions. This special issue not in Kerry White's continuation of Muir's bibliography. Rare by definition.
