12mo, photographic softcover wrappers, 217pp, [5]. Wrappers creased to lower edges, toning to rear wrap. Ownership signature, age toning to pages. Copy contains a tipped-in letter mailed from Crisp to a book reviewer in San Francisco, typewritten, ink corrected and signed by Crisp, dated 1993. Crisp thanks the addressee for his letter and for press-clippings relating to the release of the 1992 film adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando by the director Sally Potter, in which Crisp played Queen Elizabeth I. Crisp is surprised at the reception of the film in the United States, noting it as ‘strictly festival material’ and warns the viewer ‘do not expect any burning police cars or hospital nurses being raped in car parks or, indeed, anything Mr. Bush would have called ‘family entertainment!’ [sic]. The classic autobiography by the English flaneur, eccentric, critic and social commentator, presented in the common television tie-in mass market edition, though bearing a unique piece of inscribed ephemera. A very good copy.
