About this Item
First edition of the author's first commercially produced book, of which 500 copies were printed. 8vo. viii, 88pp. Dark blue cloth with a somewhat tanned and lightly chipped paper spine label. A touch of wear to the cloth at the backstrip ends. The front hinge a fraction tender, with a little further tenderness to several gatherings. Free endpapers very lightly spotted and browned. Some toning to the final text leaf, and just a little further partial toning to pp.46-47 where it would seem a slip of paper was once stored. A portrait of Brooke has been tipped to the title verso, resulting in a little offset browning to the half-title and to the front endpaper and pastedown. A tiny sliver of moisture marking to the base of each leaf. Contemporary ownership inscription neatly inked to the base of the front free endpaper. Despite the aforementioned faults, this remains a surprisingly crisp and bright copy. No dust wrapper called-for. Thirty poems composed between 1908-1911, followed by three Experiments, and seventeen juvenile efforts penned between 1905-1908. Keynes 5. Seller Inventory # ARC93319
