Letters to His Son by YEATS, J.B

1945 Faber hardcover 1st edition 3rd printing with dj (in two pieces) laid in. The best i can say about the dj is that it is still here, but brittle, and with a lot of chipping, edgewear (some tears closed), and soil/tanning. Book itself is very good, with corners bumped and frayed, light soil/sunning on cover, and inevitable page tanning. For NY state residents I am required to add 8.875% sales tax.
