William Carlos Williams; Wallace Stevens (preface). Collected Poems, 1921-1931. The Objectivist Press, New York, NY, 1934.

Price: US$1090.27 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: 12mo. Red cloth with printed spine label affixed. pp. viii, 134, [ii] (blank). Fore and tail edges uncut, the leaves generally unopened. Spotted to the head edge, the cloth faded or dust-dulled to extremities and, mildly, the spine, its label just a touch creased, and with the most minor, ineffective split to the rear joint at its head. A little spotting at the hinges, the endpapers with moderate toning/offsetting and, at the front, a neat bookseller's ticket (The Grolier Book Shop), the text block clean. In the slightly shelfworn dust jacket, rubbed at the folds, in one case with a short split, and chipped at the spine ends, the spine darkened (its text faint but legible) and with a small patch of soiling, also a pock at the upper fold, but presenting well nonetheless, and rare thus.
