HUMAN CHAIN

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original burgundy paper covered boards with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the boards bright and fresh. The contents are clean and fresh throughout and free from previous owner's marks. Complete with the fine original dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£12.99 to the front flap).

Signed by Heaney in black ink underneath his printed name on the title page. Loosely laid in is a ticket to the poet's reading at the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2010, where this volume was signed. The last collection of poetry by this Nobel Laureate to be published in his lifetime.
