Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Special Edition. I do not know the story behind this particular copy, but it is signed by several of the participating poets; Dannie Abse, D J Enright, Jon Silkin, Adrian Mitchell, Roger McGough, Iain Crichton Smith, Patricia Beer, and Vernon Scannell have all signed the index page near their names.

Whatever the story, this is a distinguished letterpress printed production on fine rag paper, with untrimmed edges to the text block. A most attractive and possibly unique copy of what was obviously a special event at the National Book League. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.
