Internally a previous owners bookplate attached to inside front board, but otherwise pages clean although slightly age toned. The dust jacket is lightly soiled and worn along edges, with some chipping to spine ends. Overall, a very good clean copy. *"This anthology is unique in that it is not an antholgoy of 'war poems', but a collection of the best poems written since the beginning of the war -- some of which are also 'war poems'. While some well-known poets, such as Herbert Read, Stephen Spender, and George Barker are represented, the majority are members of a younger generation not yet known to the general public."...dj
