About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1955. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. A bright, very well-preserved copy of the 1955 1st edition. Solid and Near Fine (just a hint of very light offsetting at the front free endpaper) in a crisp, price-intact, Near Fine dustjacket, with a bit of light creasing and chipping at the spine crown. Elizabeth Bishop's 2nd published collection of poetry, for which she was awarded the 1956 Pulitzer Prize. A pleasing, significantly above-average copy.
