First printing of the true first edition. A paperback original. Cover design by Alan Spain. ***Very good in colour-illustrated card covers. The covers have some light wear commensurate with age and handling, but are very clean. The edges of the covers are slightly rubbed and creased, mainly at the corners and along the edges of the spine, and there is a light crease to the top corner of the front cover (please see scans). There is a vertical reading crease to the spine, and a small tear at the top of the spine where the paper covering is lifting slightly. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. No fading. Internally also very good with no previous ownership inscriptions or annotations. No creases or tears. Paper stock lightly tanned as usual, with browning to the edges of the inner covers and the interior pages, but pages clean. ***144 pages. 180mm x 110mm. ***'Penguin Modern Poets is a series designed to introduce contemporary poetry to the general reader by publishing representative work by three modern poets in a single volume. In each case the selection has been made to illustrated the poet's characteristics in style and form.' (Quote taken from the back cover). The series eventually ran to 27 volumes, published between 1962 and 1979. ***First printing of the true first edition, in its original card covers. Despite the cover creasing, and wear to the spine, this is a good reading copy of the first printing. ***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.…
