Seamus Heaney - SCARCE SIGNED AMERICAN FIRST EDITION. Sweeney Astray. Farrar Straus Giroux New York, 1984.

Price: US$480.83 + shipping

Condition: Near Fine

Description: SIGNED ACROSS THE TITLE PAGE with some vigour. A rare signed example of the American first printing, in a protected jacket. A great, some would say very great, utterly clear and comprehensible version of the 17th Century Irish text. Thought to have been composed even earlier in the 9th Century, this ravishing version takes the reader into an enchanted story world. Magnificent Heaney, writing at the top of his game, is something to treasure. This copy has the stamp of a former owner, and it is a used copy, but it is not abused. The jacket is not faded, and the smart binding has no bashed corners. There are two indentations on the back cover board, but it should bother nobody too much. This is truly a rare signed Heaney, and given the greatness of the content it is worth consideration by the serious collector.
