London: Bernard Quaritch, 1899. First editon thus - dated 1899 on the title pages. Very early work. Green cloth covered boards with gold gilt embossed decorative front cover and has a new leather spine to match the boards. NOT an ex library book. This book has been professionally resewn with new front and rear end sheets that closely match the original. The book is tightly bound and square. The book pages are bright for the age of the book. The book has a decorative frontispiece picture which is covered by a tissue guard. The front end sheet and the frontispiece picture and the page after show light foxing - but the body of the book shows nearly no foxing. The book has gold gilt top edges. I noticed one page that had a small tear to the bottom of the page (page 33/34) . The covers are very clean and the gold gilt decoration on the front cover is very bright. The spine of the book has been replaced with matching green leather and the original spine and it's gold gilt title have been removed. Very collectible book. The book show some rubbing wear along the top front board. . First Thus. Hard Cover. Collectible Very Good/No Dust Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Tall, slim 8vo: [4],36pp. Publisher's smooth maroon buckram (some copies bound in brownish-orange buckram, no priority known), spine lettered in gilt, bottom edge untrimmed; beige dust jacket (Bloomfield calls it pale orange, but to my eye there is very little, if any, orange in it) printed in black, priced 21s. Possibly run off from the same plates as the first edition, with the copyright page still reading "First Published 1945," though this edition appeared in a larger format than the original (9 1/8'' x 5 5/8'' vs. 7 1/8" x 5"). A virtually pristine, unread copy, completely free of foxing and wear, in Fine jacket. Bloomfield A1(b). This pirated edition, limited to 500 copies, was issued in advance of the authorized Faber & Faber release (on Sepember 15,1966), but was swiftly withdrawn when Larkin discovered its existence. By 1972, according to…
