Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : As New. Special Edition. Full buckram binding. This is the true world First Edition, First Impression. Signed by Author. A wonderful version from the Irish by this acclaimed Nobel winning poet with superb two colour typography. This beautiful production from Field Day is a much…sought after book, and especially rare in a signed copy as this. The Nobel Laureate has signed this on the title page. He has dated it as '26.6.87' so it is later than the publication date of 1983. He has also cancelled his printed name. There is an illustration on the front cover of the jacket, by Colin Middleton with a slightly adapted version of the same drawing used on the buckram front binding inside a recess. Two internal drawings, one of a birds nest, containing the head of a bird and a human hand and the other a further appearance of the cover device but printed in sanguine ink. All the drawings are by Middleton. This is a very difficult title to find signed. I ordered it from Field Day and wish I had ordered more copies, because it quickly sold out. I have left the price sticker on the back cover, which says £8! I obtained the signature at a reading on Londons South Bank.Slight foxing to a few pages, and a neat former owner blind stamp and name to the half title, which explains why this is Near Fine. Jacket is protected and unclipped, and it is without any damage or spine fade. Very rare indeed. 0.0 0.0 0.0. Signed by Author(s).
