Beschreibung

Fine; light tanning to card stock covers and to page edges, but only as seen with the book closed. Most pages unopened at top edge; this is an unread book. In a good dust jacket; small tears at foot of spine and top edge of front panel; wear to edges and folds; misc. scuffs; spine tanned; in an archival clear plastic sleeve. First Edition; limited/numbered; this copy noted as "out of series" in the space where the number would appear. Inscribed by the author's wife on half title page: "To Marc with best wishes from Maeve Peake. New York - October 1968." This is the last book published in the author's lifetime. He would die of dementia on 17 November 1968 at a care home in England. Per the introduction by the editor George Lawson, because of Mervyn's incapacity, the poems were selected with Maeve's help from the original manuscripts.
