Blue cloth with the printed paper title-label on the spine; all edges uncut; covers lightly flecked and mottled, with slight loss to silverfish to the cloth on the bottom edges and the top turn-ins; small patch of discolouration to the spine (where the price was clipped from the spine of the dustwrapper); offsetting to the endpapers; paper lightly toned; a very good copy (internally near-fine) with the dustwrapper sunned and price-clipped on the spine, lightly marked with minimal light surface loss to silverfish, with one tiny closed tear. This collection includes some of Eliot's best-loved poems, including 'Prufrock', 'The Waste Land', and 'The Hollow Men'.
