On page 68 I found a black and white photograph of a young couple at some formal function. They are standing in what looks like a kitchen of a country club or posh hotel; he is holding a cigarette discreetly at his side (trying to hide it?) and she is laughing (nervously?). The book still smells wonderfully musty. I have an old copy of Maugham’s The Razor’s Edge that I bought at a used book store years ago.
