Item description from seller

Second printing. Curious volume of poetry, self-published by Roberts, which includes proposal for further volumes on a monthly basis "despite the fuel crisis, the paper shortage and the general slow-wittedness of post-war Britain". Perhaps for all of those reasons, these do not seem to have appeared, though at least two other volumes of Roberts' poetry were published (in 1939 and 1947). Back cover harnesses positive comments from TS Eliot ("Undoubtedly an interesting and unusual poet") and Edmund Blunden ("I admire his handling of the long poem") among others. Browning to pages and some rust to staples. card cover show browning to edges, especially to rear. Exceptionally scarce. This is a charity sale on behalf of Friendsw of Morston Church (reg.1099831).

Store description

Formerly known as Journobooks, our original speciality was books about journalism, journalists, newspapers, magazines and other media (hence the old name) and we still have a great stock of hard-to-find books in that field. Over time we have added a wide variety of other collectible gems some of which we sell on behalf of the charity Friends of Morston Church (reg.1099831). Our goal is to offer the best value for money on Abebooks, ie. the lowest price for the condition of the book. We love buying and selling books, so will try to make your buying experience as easy and pleasant as possible.…
