Co-operation in a University Town

1st ed. 8vo, blue boards, 114 pp.

Searle's first book publication, while a nineteen year-old art student at the Cambridge Art School and part-time cartoonist for the Cambridge Daily News. ]

Ten black and white line drawings. Searle worked as a packer and clerk with the Cambridge Cooperative Society, for which this book is a brief history. "[T]he book will never be sought after for its narrative's sake, except by historians of the Co-operative movement.Nevertheless, it was the first time a reviewer could say that there were 'drawings by Ronald Searle to brighten the pages.'" [Russell Davies. Ronald Searle/A Biography. Sinclair-Stevenson, 1990.]

Fine in good d/w with several large open and closed tears.
