The Ruby Woods / signed, limited Fine Binding

San Francisco: White Rabbit Press, 1971. First, limited, signed and numbered edition. Hardbound by Earl Gray. Signed and numbered by the author on the limitation page. This is # 10 of 26 hardbound copies thus signed and numbered. Octavo, illustrated purple cloth boards, no jacket, as issued. Illustration has been hand-cut and adhered to the cover; a beautiful fine-binding example, overall. Just a touch of sunning at the spine, else fine. Very scarce hardbound format of the first edition of a first edition which even with its softcover run only numbered 480. Earl Gray then hardbound 26 of these, and poet Sandy Dorbin signed and numbered those. This copy bears the number 10. Nice personal style to Dorbin's entries, a sort of delicate neo-beat examining adventure, on topics varying from relationships to naturalistic pangs and slices of mystery from the universe around us all. Hardly replaceable for the serious poetry collector. L-31.
