Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. The Enormous Room by E. E. Cumming. First edition in its very first state with the uncensored word shit on page 219, which was later removed. Signed by Cummings and coming from the estate of James Laughlin, founder and publisher of New Directions! The book was purchased from an ABAA Accredited dealer in CT where Laughlin made his home and where he passed away. . Cummings s first novel was written as a semi autobiographical recount of his time spent as a POW in WWI. An absolutely fabulous piece of history with the Laughlin connection as well as the fact that Cummings s biographer said there were less than 2000 of these first state copies printed! . Book in about NF condition with some foxing and aging. Spine ends lightly bumped text block showing soiling but overall Laughlin took very good care of this beautiful and quite uncommon first printing. The jacket is a facsimile reprint and on there for presentation and protection purposes. .

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. The First USA printing published by Boni & Liveright, New York in 1922. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. The first state with the word 'shit' uncancelled on p. 219 and original publisher's tan buckram. Mild offsetting of the wrapper flaps to the blank end papers. Light toning to the text block but the pages remain clean. Frederick Baldwin Adams Jnr.'s bookplate (designed by Rockwell Kent) to the front pastedown (Adams Jnr. had been a former President of the Morgan Library and had served also as President of the 'Association Internationale de Bibliophile', the most prestigious organisation of bibliophiles in the world). The original WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ condition. It is the correct first issue bearing the price of $2 to the spine and the 'Of Vocations' title description on the rear cover is priced at $2. The wrapper is notoriously fragile and brittle and this wrapper has benefitted from some expert professional Japanese tissue repairs to the verso which do not show through to the front. Some loss to the spine ends, corners and a little to the upper edges - see images. The wrapper looks very striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. The book has been signed (without dedication) by the author to the upper front blank end-paper. Kennedy, Cummings' biographer, says less than 2,000 copies of this debut title were published. Very scarce with no records of a copy with such attributes appearing at auction in the last 15years. Cummings' first separately published book and one of the lasting accounts to come out of WW1.
