Basil Copper - Necropolis, Arkham House 1980, 1st Edition, Inscribed & Signed W. Somerset Maugham Steven StapletonInscription information: Most of the books in our collection are dedicated to Winifred Edwards, who lived in Tunbridge Wells but it was actually David Edwards that Basil Copper was originally friends with. They both belonged to an amateur film society (We think it was called the Regency Film Unit) in Tunbridge Wells, which is where Basil met David, who was an amateur film maker. When David died in 1973, Basil and his wife Annie remained close friends
