First Edition (first printing) - the most uncommon casebound issue, which was published simultaneously with the more common paperback issue. This copy signed by the author on the title page. Slim 8vo. 56pp. Cloth-backed marbled paper-covered boards, lettered in gold at the spine. Former owner name neatly inked to the head of the front free endpaper. The top edge just fractionally spotted, else a fine copy in very good double-spread dust wrapper featuring a striking design by Leigh Taylor, the wrapper non-price-clipped but with a touch of light dust soiling. Thirty-two poems, the author's first solo collection of verse, really quite scarce in this casebound state, and here handsomely enhanced by the author's signature and supplied together with an uncorrected proof copy of the first edition in the publisher's original stapled card wrappers, the staples rusted and with one word ('July' - presumably the month of publication) inked to the head of the upper wrapper..
