About this Item: New York: Alfred A. Knopf., 1962. First American edition, first printing. Original green cloth with dark green titles to the spine, the author's initials blind stamped to the upper board, in dustwrapper. Red top-stain. A lovely fine copy, the binding square and firm, the red top-stain unfaded and the contents clean throughout. A date (12/25/65) is lightly written in ink to the top right of the front free endpaper. Complete with the clean and bright dustwrapper which is entirely without loss, and with just the tiniest signs of rubbing to extremities and a discreet two centimetre tear to the lower left of the front panel. Not price-clipped ($4.00 to the upper front flap). A lovely example. The first American edition of the author's debut collection, revised from the UK publication, and the author's preferred issue. Plath felt that the Heinemann first edition came and went with little review or appreciation in the UK press. For this first American edition the collection was revised, with 10 poems omitted and on publication, some 20 months after the Heinemann edition, was met with near universal critical appreciation. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers. Seller Inventory # 17987
