About this Item

New Directions, New York. 1958. 246 pages including index. First edition, first printing. Book is tight. Binding and hinges are sound. Blue cloth panels are bright and clean. Pages and endpapers are bright. Minor, light shelf-rubbing at tips. Uncommon original DJ with $3.75 price intact on flap. DJ shows minor, light handling and rubbing. A couple of tiny, shallow edge chips. The book's lone flaw is light annotation in the margins, and some passages underlined in ink. A nice copy with annotation. Overall, an uncommon hardcover in DJ, of the man TIME magazine coined as Father of the Beats.
