Unbound. Etat : Near Fine. Broadside. Measuring approximately 14" x 20". A bit of tanning and marginal soiling, trifle creased, a near fine copy of an Updike rarity. De Bellis and Broomfield A22.[A]: "Roberts reported, '*Bath After Sailing* was originally planned as a broadside to be set in italic type. Approximately 10 copies were pulled for proof. The author then decided against the italic type and the broadside format and roman type was set for the wrappered edition as printed.'" The press published this poemâ"with altered textâ" as a small bifolium the same year, in an edition of 125 copies. Incredibly, according to *OCLC*, eight copies of this proof have made it into institutions (six in the U.S.); we've never seen another.
