Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Serbian edition? Translated by Dr. Ivan S. S?hajkovi? 23-page introduction by the translator. Text in Serbian. Tall octavo. 54pp., with an errata slip bound into the rear. Bound with wrappers into plain forest green buckram. Owner name on front fly. Binding a bit cocked, gutters at the wrappers neatly strengthened, very good. Penciled notes in the introduction in an unknown hand, and it appears the the translator has made several small textual changes in ink as well as adding four lines in manuscript at tone place. Briefly Inscribed by S?hajkovi? on the title page. Uncommon.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First edition. Photographic frontispiece of the author laid down. With the author's preface to an earlier book of poems that did not come to fruition printed after the poems. Small octavo. 141 [1] pp. Text in Serbian. Bound with wrappers into patterned cloth with cover titled in gilt. Boards trifle foxed and very faint offsetting on the title page and facing page, still a fine copy. Signed by the author beneath his portrait. With reproductions of two drawings (one possibly by the author?) and a cabinet card laid in. The preface, written in 1931, was written in Helsinki; apparently the author lived there. A handsomely printed and bound volume of poetry. We have not been able to find much information about the author and, while we admit our Serbian isn't flawless, we have been unable to locate another copy.
