Book Description

London: The Poetry Bookshop, 1922. First edition, first printing. This is a good (or better) copy. The dust wrapper has some moderate loss at the top and bottom edges and some closed tears to note. The flaps are detached from the body but sit well in mylar. The spine is toned, but shows the correct price of 6/- net. The paper covered boards are generally sharp and the gilt titling is clean and bright there is a band of textured and discoloured paper to the edge. The gilt top edge is bright, but the side edge sustains some foxing. This copy is free from previous owner s inscriptions, but with some infrequent foxing to the prelims. Overall, this is a very good copy scarce in the jacket. This fifth book of Georgian Poetry carries to the end of a twelfth year the presentation of chosen examples from the works of contemporary poets belonging to the younger generation. The following twenty-one writers are included, seven of whom appear in the series for the first time: Lascelles Abercrombie; Martin Armstrong; Edmund Blunden; William H.
