Waugh, Evelyn (1903-1966). Vile Bodies. London: Chapman & Hall Ltd., 1930.

A presentation copy of the first edition of Waugh’s second novel. Inscribed to Christopher Sykes: "For Christopher by, for, from Evelyn."

Sykes was also purportedly the inspiration for the character Roger Stillingfleet in Waugh's Work Suspended (1950). Davis et al., 5.
