About This Item
New Yorkk: Terence & Elsa Holliday, 1932. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Good limited edition cloth SIGNED by T.S. Eliot with gilt lettering on spine and marbled boards. No DJ. This is #108 of 110 copies. Eliot's signature appears at the bottom of the edition number page just before the title page. The spine is straight and tight, but the pages show age toning and light smudging throughout. Some of this may be the result of exposure to moisture, but all are straight and legible. The frontispiece portrait of Dryden, done in red ink, is still in good shape but the red ink has bled through the page a bit. Does not affect the signature. See photos please. There is a 1/2 inch abrasion to the marbling pattern on the back cover. 68 pages.
