Publication: London, Hodder and Stoughton, 1914.

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 301.

Condition Report: Good. The binding remains firm and structurally sound. The publisher's original blue cloth boards exhibit general shelf-wear, including rubbing, mild sunning to the spine, and bumped spine ends with minor fraying. There is noticeable dark spotting and staining present on the front board. Internally, the text block is generally clean, though there is scattered foxing to the preliminary pages and endpapers, and the top edge of the text block is dust-darkened.

Catalogue Note: This is a First Edition of Rose Macaulay's early novel, published without a dust jacket. The volume is bound in the publisher's original blue cloth with black lettering and blind-stamped borders to the front board, and gilt titling to the spine.

The preliminary pages feature a printed dedication to "D. F. C." While Macaulay’s later interwar and post-WWII works are widely available, her pre-war fiction in its original, unrestored publisher's cloth is relatively scarce on the open market.

The Making of a Bigot by Rose Macaulay is a thought-provoking British novel offering a scathing social commentary on prejudice, intolerance, and societal norms. Set in the years just before the Great War, it follows the life of a young man whose sheer broad-mindedness and desire to agree with everyone ultimately paralyses his ability to act or hold a true conviction. Through masterful character development and her signature biting satire, Macaulay delves into the complexities of morality, personal growth, and the inevitability of having to take a stand.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
