O’BRIEN, Flann (1911-1966). At Swim-Two-Birds. London: Longmans, Green, 1939.

Uncorrected proof for the first edition of At Swim-Two-Birds. Overall very similar to the first edition, though the preliminary pages do not yet hyphenate the title and there are differences in spacing between paragraphs. At least one textual difference has been noted: page 52 of the proof does not yet include the line "Do not let us forget that" (eight lines from the top in the first edition).

Octavo. Plain wrappers (repairs to spine). Custom box.
