POEMS

Fourth English edition. Publisher's original gilt stamped dark blue cloth with a wonderful floral design by Althea Gyles to the upper board, a figurative design with titles to the spine, and a small circular design to the lower board. All edges untrimmed. Portrait frontispiece, with tissue guard. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with bumping and minor fraying to the spine tips and corners. The gilt somewhat dulled, especially to the spine, but still quite legible. The contents, with a stanza from Yeats' poem 'Blood and the Moon' inscribed in ink on the front endpaper, some small nicks to untrimmed foredge of the text block, and the odd finger mark to the margins, are otherwise clean throughout.

(Wade 19).
