The second, unauthorised edition of the author's uncommon first book. Slim 8vo. 32pp. Asparagus-coloured boards lettered in gold at the spine. A tiny hint of wear to the head of the spine, and the upper board lifting just a fraction. One corner of front free endpaper clipped, presumably to remove a former owner name. A lovely crisp copy, internally flawless bar the aforementioned clipping. Housed in thin paper dust wrapper with the 12'6 price sticker to the front flap. The wrapper tanned at the spine panel, a little chafed at the rear flap joint, with some light sunning to some extremities and two small areas of loss from spine panel. Thirty-one poems. "The renown of the author prompted Caton to produce this second edition, but his omission to inform [Amis] of the existence or to benefit him from its sales must be construed as being rather more than forgetful-ness" - Timothy d'Arch Smith, 'R.A.
