Tem também um pequeno rasgão na capa, sobre o "R" de Stories, assim como na contracapa, ao lado da lombada, entre esta e o "OF", mas ambos não tão pronunciados como os da lombada e, sobretudo, conservam ainda todo o papel.

Ernest Newman (30 November 1868 – 7 July 1959) was an English music critic and musicologist.

Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians describes him as "the most celebrated British music critic in the first half of the 20th century." His style of criticism, aiming at intellectual objectivity in contrast to the more subjective approach of other critics, such as Neville Cardus, was reflected in his books on Richard Wagner, Hugo Wolf, Richard Strauss and others. He was music critic of The Sunday Times from 1920 until his death nearly forty years later. His other positions included chief music critic of The Birmingham Post from 1906 to 1919, as well as brief stints as the chief music critic for The Guardian (1905 to 1906) and The Observer (1919).

Ernest Newman (1868 to 1959) left an indelible mark on British musical criticism in a career spanning more than seventy years.

His magisterial Life of Richard Wagner, published in four volumes between 1933 and 1946, is regarded as his crowning achievement, but Newman wrote many other influential books and essays on a variety of subjects ranging from early music to Schoenberg.
