About This Item
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1961. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo. xv, 189 pp. Book and dustjacket designed by Frank Newfeld. Contains stories and poems. Mild edgewear at head and foot of spine; dustjacket has some edgewear with a bit of chipping near head of mildly sunned spine and at corners, some rubbing at flap hinges and near spine and with a few very small closed tears. Still as nice a copy as we have seen in a long time.
