The Broken Span (The Poet of the Month)
Norfolk, CT: New Directions, 1941. First Printing. Hardcover. Very Good in Good dust jacket / Good. Item #030689
The pages of this well-kept copy are clean, free from ownership marks, crisp, and bright saving a little modest age-toning at the endpapers; the binding is tight, the hard cover gently rubbed at heel, head, and corners and showing a small spot at the upper front and some gentle staining along the spine, otherwise clean and lovely. The jacket is unclipped, shows the twelve forthcoming at the rear flap and description at the front, and is printed in black and fuschia consistent with the first printing. Though age-toned around edges, shows some small and faint handling smudges, is rubbed with some small open chips at the corners and spine tips, and shows just a little surface wear at the spine, it is nonetheless remarkably attractive and now, of course, protected in an archivally safe sleeve.
