About This Item
New York: Harcourt Brace, 1942. 1st edition, full red cloth, with printed dust jacket. The celebrated author's monumental first book, specially signed by Jarrell in ink on the second FEP. Published in an edition of only 1700 copies (Wright A1), seldom are examples found in bright condition. Typically the inferior paper used for the dust jacket (due to the War years) is dry, brittle, and chipped. The present copy is uncommonly bright and fine, and unique with the author's scarce signature.
