Georgian Poetry 1916-1917





Book Description
London: The Poetry Bookshop, 1917. First edition, first printing. This is a very good copy. The scarce, unrestored dust wrapper has slight loss at the spine tips and corners, and some mild soiling to the spine. The price is correct at 4/- net. The deep green paper covered boards are remarkably sharp, with only slight marking to the gilt titling. The gilt top edge is bright, and the side and bottom are free from foxing. There is a previous owner s name to the front fly, in black ink and dated 1939. The internals, inscription aside, are crisp, with one neat pencil annotation on p.123. This is a very good copy in a notably clean state.
