first edition Cloth
1959 · New York
by Merrill, James
New York: Alfred Knopf, 1959. First edition. Cloth. Near Fine/near fine. Cloth 8vo in dustwrapper. 77 pp. Stated first edition. The author's second poetry collection published by a major publisher. A handsome near fine copy in rose cloth covers. The price-intact dustwrapper is very lightly toned at spine (much less than typically seen). A very nice example of this early work by Merrill.
