first edition
1968 · Toronto
by ATWOOD, Margaret
Toronto: Oxford University Press, 1968. First Edition. Octavo. 21.5cm. Publisher's simultaneous wraps edition in purple and red pictorial card covers, sharing the design with the subsequent Little, Brown edition. 69pp. Wraps are clean and bright with some minor edgewear, but there is some tanning and creasing to the spine panel which detracts from the appearance a little without causing any structural causes for concern. A good, presentable copy. Internally clean with an old rare book catalog entry laid in at the front, and a little cosmetic wear to the gutter where the wraps meet the page block. Attwood's second poetry publication, scarce in any of its first printings, published the year before her first novel "The Edible Woman." [82181]. (Inventory #: 82181)
