Waugh (Evelyn) They Were Still Dancing, first American edition, second issue with Farrer & Rinehart imprint, very faint scattered spots to first few pages, original pictorial cloth, dust-jacket, light chipping to spine head, the odd nick and short tear to extremities and joints, still overall sharp and excellent, 8vo, New York, 1932.
⁂ An excellent example of the first American edition of Remote People.
Waugh fell out with Cape & Smith after they reneged on their agreed advance of $600, based on the poor sales of Labels (published in the U.S. as A Bachelor Abroad) . Incensed, Waugh broke off relations with Cape & Smith and took They Were Still Dancing to Farrer & Rinehart. The print run had already taken place however, therefore the preliminaries of the Farrer & Rinehart edition had to be published as cancels, and the cloth binding still carried the Cape & Smith logo.
