T. S. Eliot

Salisbury, Conn.: The Cantina Press, 1938. 16mo.  140 x 105 mm., [5 ½ x 4 ¼ inches].  72 pp., printed on tissue.  Unadorned orange paper wrappers; 2 preliminary leaves and last leaf with some discoloration of the paper stock, otherwise very good. Beautifully and creatively printed catalogue by the Cantina Press containing 28 first editions by the Anglo-American writer, T. S. Eliot.  "The books (which are all fine copies and are accurately described) punctuate the several periods of the author's career."  Because of the texture of the tissue, each leaf is printed on one side only, and as one works through the catalogue the previous page shows through in reverse, giving the catalogue a particularly modern touch.  (781).
