Description

Australian-born Norwich MP and poet Fairfax "presents a selection of lyrical poems and sonnets written since the Great War". It gets off to a cracking start with the preface: "Prefaces, always objectionable, are perhaps doubly so where poetry is concerned..." All in VG clean and bright internal order. Externally however things are different. Yellow boards are heavily mottled, while d/j, though unclipped, is dulled, worn to edges and stained to rear. Thus best regarded as a reading copy of a scarce book. 12mo. xiv, 105pp
£30.00
