Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Ninth impression of the true first edition, published in July 1952 (the book was first published in 1944). This edition differs from previous editions in that the cloth-covered boards are beige not grey, the dustwrapper is yellow rather than cream, and…the 'Books by T. S. Eliot' on the back of the dustwrapper are listed under Poetry, Prose and Plays rather than just Poetry and Prose. ***This copy is a variant with the typesetting error on p.12 corrected - apparently, in this printing, the section heading V for "Burnt Norton" was mistakenly printed at the head of page 12, instead of further down the page. At least half of the print run has this error, with most of the remainder having a cancel leaf inserted. However, this copy appears to have a bound in correctly typeset page (please see scans). In addition, this copy has an original full-size folded newspaper page loosely inserted, which carries an obituary of Mr T. S. Eliot, OM dated Tuesday January 5 1965, and a lock of hair inserted at p.22/23 (please see scans) ***Very good in beige-coloured cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt titles are still nice and bright, not oxidised. The boards are clean without any marks. No bumps or creases - just slight rubbing at the top and tail of the spine. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally, the book is also very good, but there is dark offsetting to the front pastedown and free endpaper caused by the newspaper which has been in place since 1965. There is a contemporary ownership name and date - Jean F. Craig 1954 - in ink to the top of the front free endpaper. There are also some marginal notes in light pencil to p.8/9, and a couple of ink stains affecting the text on p.8 (please see scans). Pages otherwise clean. ***In a good only lemon-yellow, black and red printed dustwrapper, that is fairly complete, bu with an area of loss at the bottom of the spine, affecting the titles, and some loss along the top edge of the front and back panels. Please note that the spine is split along the edge at the back panel so that it is in fact present in two sections. There is also some rubbing and creasing at the edges, and slight loss at the tips of the foldovers. The dustwrapper has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 7s 6d net. There is some fading and browning to the extremities of the dustwrapper, and the spine is rubbed and discoloured. ***44 pages. 226mm x 146mm. ***Contents: Burnt Norton; East Coker; The Dry Salvages; Little Gidding. ***A ninth impression of the true first edition, in its original dustwrapper. Whilst the book itself is in very good condition, the dustwrapper is defective with the faults as described above. This example is quite unusual in having the typesetting error corrected, and perhaps more notably, with the lock of hair and the original newspaper obituary from 1965. A unique copy. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
