| Description | Hanley, James, Men in Darkness. London: John Lane, 1931. With a preface by John Cowper Powys. Inscription: ‘To Charles and Esther Lahr. In appreciation and all good wishes from James Hanley.' Note L.P. edition - 105 for sale. Author's copy. Signed. [Note: the secretary of the Powys Society, Chris Gostick, questioned this copy because he knew that Hanley would not have inscribed a book and then passed it on to John Cowper Powys. E.E. Bissell bought up as many books as he could from dealers or in a sale which had articles or introductions to various books. This suggests that Lahr or his descendants sold Lahr's library.]
