Item description from seller

"Deluxe" issue, no. 40 of 50 numbered and signed copies; printed on blue paper (otherwise indistinguishable from the trade issue, so far as this cataloguer can discern). Small, slim octavo; blue paper-covered boards; dustjacket; 48pp. Fine, in the original dustwrapper, unclipped, with no printed price on flap, inconspicuous trace of wear at edges; about Fine. First published collection by the great Tyneside working-class poet, founder and central figure of the Morden Tower Book Room; both muse and mentee to Basil Bunting (who supplied the Preface to this volume) and reputedly a driving force behind the writing of Bunting's masterpiece, "Briggflatts". Perhaps our favorite thing about this book, however, is that the jacket was designed by a very young Ian Dury, later of Blockheads fame, done well before his appearance on the London punk scene, at a time when he was attempting to establish a foothold as a visual artist. A great little book, necessarily uncommon in this limitation.
