Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Ninth impression of the true first edition, published in July 1952 (the book was first published in 1944). This edition differs from previous editions in that the cloth-covered boards are beige not grey, the dustwrapper is yellow rather than cream, and the 'Books by T. S. Eliot' on the back of the dustwrapper are listed under Poetry, Prose and Plays rather than just Poetry and Prose. ***This copy is a variant with the typesetting error on p.12 corrected - apparently, in this printing, the section heading V for "Burnt Norton" was mistakenly printed at the head of page 12, instead of further down the page. At least half of the print run has this error, with most of the remainder having a cancel leaf inserted. However, this copy appears to have a bound in correctly typeset page (please see scans). In addition, this copy has an original full-size folded newspaper page loosely inserted, which carries an obituary of Mr T. S. Eliot, OM dated Tuesday January 5 1965, and a lock of hair inserted at p.22/23 (please see scans) ***Very good in beige-coloured cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt titles are still nice and bright, not oxidised. The boards are clean without any marks. No bumps or creases - just slight rubbing at the top and tail of the spine. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally, the book is also very good, but there is dark offsetting to the front pastedown and free endpaper caused by the newspaper which has been in place since 1965. There is a contemporary ownership name and date - Jean F. Craig 1954 - in ink to the top of the front free endpaper. There are also some marginal notes in light pencil to p.8/9, and a couple of ink stains affecting the text on p.8 (please see scans). Pages otherwise clean. ***In a good only lemon-yellow, black and red printed dustwrapper, that is fairly complete, bu with an area of loss at the bottom of the spine, affecting the titles, and some loss along the top edge of the front and back panels. Please note that the spine is split along the edge at the back panel so that it is in fact present in two sections. There is also some rubbing and creasing at the edges, and slight loss at the tips of the foldovers. The dustwrapper has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 7s 6d net. There is some fading and browning to the extremities of the dustwrapper, and the spine is rubbed and discoloured. ***44 pages. 226mm x 146mm. ***Contents: Burnt Norton; East Coker; The Dry Salvages; Little Gidding. ***A ninth impression of the true first edition, in its original dustwrapper. Whilst the book itself is in very good condition, the dustwrapper is defective with the faults as described above. This example is quite unusual in having the typesetting error corrected, and perhaps more notably, with the lock of hair and the original newspaper obituary from 1965. A unique copy. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good +. No Jacket. First Edition. Two things prevent the book from being in very good condition. First, a previous owner did a lot of underlining and notating in pencil throughout the book . . . and second, there's a sort of "watermark" stain at the bottom of the bages near the spine throughout the book. Nothing too serious, just there.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Fourth impression of the true first edition, published in January 1946. The book was first published in book form in 1944. ***Near fined in grey cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still beautifully bright, not oxidised, having been protected by the dustwrapper. The boards are clean and unmarked. No tears or wear to the cloth. No bumps. Corners sharp. Page block edges clean. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean. Printed on thin quality paper (Faber had access to quality paper stocks throughout the war period and after). No splitting to the binding as is sometimes found with this fragile publication. Spine tight. ***In a good only cream dustwrapper, printed in black and red. The dustwrapper has not been price-clipped, and retains the original publisher's printed price of 6s. net. The dustwrapper is fairly complete, but there are some areas of loss on the spine, and some small chips along the top edges of the front and back panels. There is also some splitting alog the edges of the spine folds, as the dustwrapper is printed on extremely thin paper stock. There is uneven sun-fading and browning to the dustwrapper (please see scans) ***44 pages. 226mm x 146mm. ***Contents: Burnt Norton; East Coker; The Dry Salvages; Little Gidding. ***A fourth impression of the true first edition, printed just after the Second World War, in the original dustwrapper which, as mentioned, is printed on extremely thin paper stock. It is unlikely that many examples of this 1946 printing have retained their dustwrappers. A nicely preserved early impression of this collectable title by T. S. Eliot. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
