Condition
See photos above. The dust jacket shows lighter storage. The boards and pages are as new, but the to/from was filled in on the front free endpaper and signed by the poet on the reverse of that page. The binding is tight. It feels like it was never read. From clean, smoke-free home.

Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, create a custom-made cardboard box to ship it in, and send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking.
