Decorative Cloth. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. A folio sized volume bound in decorative cloth with gilt title lettering and harp motif on the front board and spine. There is some bumping and fraying of the cloth, particularly at the foot of the spine which is slit about two cm along the front hinge. No inscriptions and original end papers look pretty clean, as do the pages throughout. There is a touch of foxing and browning here and there. The sections of the book are very shakey and coming away from the spine, so loosely held in, but held in they are. Ideally could do with some careful restoration work although still a decent working copy as it is. All of which is reflected in the price. Photos on request.

"Poetry is an unacknowledged war industry. It is a known but unmitigated error of many intelligent people to look down on poetry as if it were a feather in the hat on a stormy day, curlicues on the fringe of nothing, play for an idle moment between major issues. Hence the infinite indifference to poetry in a society badly in need of it, but offering to it, as to Christianity, a meaningless lip service. Poetry is a necessity wearing the trapping of a luxury. It is a way to live, and a way to evaluate that way. It is a way of seeing, and therefore of believing" (Oscar Williams, Introduction).
