Description:

First British edition in book form, sole impression, one of about 460 copies. Virginia Woolf set the type herself, writing to Barbara Bagenal in July 1923: "I have just finished setting the whole of Mr. Eliot's poem with my own hands - you see how my hand trembles" (Letters, vol. III, p. 56). The Waste Land was originally published in the first issue of The Criterion, the quarterly review which Eliot edited, in October 1922, and it was subsequently released in book form in New York on 15 December 1922 by Boni & Liveright. This Hogarth edition, however, was the one that Eliot preferred to use for his presentation copies. This copy has the title label in Gallup's second state with three horizontal rules (one of three states issued simultaneously). The blue marbled paper for the boards is generally thought to have been prepared by Vanessa Bell. Gallup A6c; Woolmer 28. Virginia Woolf, The Letters of Virginia Woolf, 6 vols, 1975-80. Octavo. Original blue marbled paper boards, neatly rebacked and recornered, white paper label to front cover printed in black. Housed in a custom blue leather folding box. Binding rubbed but bright, sympathetic restoration to board edges, a very good copy. Seller Inventory # 171342
