Description: G. B. S. A Postscript Written by Hesketh Pearson. Published by Harper & Brothers, New York. Copyright 1950; “FIRST EDITION” is stated on the copyright page, code M-Z (1950). There are four black and white photo illustration plates including the frontispiece. From the dust jacket description: When Hesketh Pearson was writing his G. B. S., A Full Length Portrait, there was some fascinating material on Shaw—conversations, observations, confirmed and unconfirmed stories about the great man—which, for various reason of his own, he did not see fit to use at that time. Now that Shaw is dead, however, Hesketh Pearson has decided that the time has come to use this material, along with this final observations of Shaw during his last years. These observations by one who knew Shaw intimately are completely original and shed new and unexpected light on several facets of one of the greatest and most eccentric personalities of our times. DESCRIPTION: 137 pages 8 5/8 x 5 7/8 inches first edition hardcover with dustjacket CONDITION: This hard-cover book is in very good condition with a good dust jacket.
