The Winter Man. New Poems.

London: Allison & Busby, 1973.

FIRST EDITION, first printing, hardback issue. Octavo (23 x 15cm), pp.[6]; 58. Publisher's dark green cloth lettered in gilt to spine, grey endappers. Dust-jacket clipped and repriced with a sticker by the publisher to £4.50.

Ownership of Professor Kopan Mahadeva to half title, small tear to flyleaf, small area of paper loss to fore edge of the first six leaves, (well clear of the text, likely a production fault). A few small smudges to upper panel of the dust-jacket. Very good.
