U.S.A.: Delacorte Press/Seymour Lawrence, 1979. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Fine cloth with gilt and silver lettering on spine and front cover and Near Fine DJ in protective mylar cover. First Delacorte press ediition. The spine may be slightly cocked at bottom due to longterm shelf slant, but its very slight and sometimes I'm inclined to say its not cocked at all after I've laid it down and picked it up again. But I thought it's better to say it than not. Otherwise the book is flawless. No creases, tears, or markings. The DJ is Near Fine due to a small crease at the bottom of the interior front flap and a 1-11/2 inch crease at top of back DJ cover (not price clipped). Index. 246 pages.

The DJ has a 1 inch closed tear at the top right of rear cover and edge wear to top and bottom of spine, some wear to corners, otherwise bright and lovely. Not ex lib, not clipped, no remainder marks (I feel obliged to say it, but, honestly, the only place to buy it is in Hechal Schlomo and the museum is happy to just keep it in the safe until the next pilgrim wants it. For that matter, if you've got one with a clipped jacket maybe it would add value...). 199 pages.

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.
