Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 4to. Cream cloth printed in gold. pp.[ii] (blank), xxx, 592pp. + frontispiece. Brings together for the first time all of the poems that had so far been discovered - more than five hundred - which O'Hara wrote in his lifetime. This copy has the 1st is…sue jacket, by Larry Rivers, which was deemed unsuitable by members of O'Hara's family and was quickly replaced by a typographic design, and it has the 1st issue binding; subsequently, the covers were stamped blind. Early copies such as this one were sent to reviewers and comprised the first shipments on advance orders. Very Good indeed with just moderate signs of handling, a handful of leaves with tiny corner bumps, and the fore edge with a spot at the end matter, the jacket a little rubbed to the head edge, where the spine is bumped and shows on the reverse a faint patch of soiling, slightly faded around the spine, and with a couple of short, mild scratches to the lower panel, but nonetheless Very Good overall.
