Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The First UK printing published by Heinemann in 1918. The BOOK is in VERY GOOD-condition. Stiff card wrappers show mild edge wear with a vertical crease to the front cover. Very minimal loss at the spine ends. The spine is slightly toned but essentially intact with the red titling still present. A little loss of the final letter 'r' of 'Dearmer'. Some separation of the lower quarter of the front cover from the spine. The page edges are toned due to the quality of the paper used. Pages are moderately spotted especially to the latter section of the book. Free from inscriptions. A very fragile cheaply produced book which has managed to survive over 100 years. Contains his famous 'The Sentinel' and 'The Somme' poems. Scarce to find with the spine intact - the first copy we have handled to date.Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
