Notes: Signed by the illustrator Joan Hassell, who created the many wonderful woodcuts throughout this book, #615/1500. Miss Hassall designed the paper that covers the slipcase and the endpapers, it's a green and white floral, which darkened with age, corners worn, spine darkened. The green imported paper covered boards with the inset portrait of the poet and green cowhide spine with gold and black spine label are in near fine condition. All orders packed with care, dust jackets protected by Brodart sleeve, independent bookseller since 2011 |
