| Description: |
First editions, first printings (first Faber edition of volume one). Four volumes, each SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR to the title page. An excellent VERY GOOD or better set showing only minor rubbing and dustiness to the extremities of the wrappers. East Coker is VERY GOOD with a short closed tear to the bottom edge of upper wrapper and light spotting to the margins of some pages. Burnt Norton is NEAR FINE with only light rubbing to the wrapper edges. The Dry Salvages is VERY GOOD with light rubbing and some bumping / creasing to the corners. Tiny pencil name of Mr [H. G.] Martin to the top edge of preliminary blank. Little Gidding is in the earliest state with sewn rather than stapled wrappers and is in NEAR FINE condition with only the lightest of rubbing to the extremities and the neat pencil name of Mr Martin to the front blank. All in all an excellent set in entirely original condition. Housed in purpose made quarter navy blue morocco solander box. Signed copies of any of the individual volumes of Four Quartets are rare, all four together exceptionally so. (Gallup A36c, A37, A39, A42) |
