DEATH OF A LADY'S MAN

First UK edition, first printing. Original brown paper-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine, in the dustwrapper illustrated with an image from the 1550 text 'Rosarium philosophorum' in gilt. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the spine tips very lightly bumped. The contents are clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased original dustwrapper which has a short closed tear to the top edge of the rear panel. Not price-clipped (£4.95 on the front flap).

Leonard Cohen's seventh book of poetry. It shares its title (with a slightly different spelling) with his 5th studio album 'Death of a Ladies' Man', released in 1977. The only shared material between the book and album are the identical words of the eponymous poem and song, the remaining poems are unrelated to the album.
