Description

Hardcover in publisher’s dust-jacket. 427 pages. Index. First edition thus, anniversary edition, BOMC. Special edition published in observance of the 100th anniversary of Whitman’s death. First published in 1855 containing just 12 poems, this is the final edition compiled by the poet before his death and contains fully 300 poems. No previous ownership marks. A clean, square, fresh and unmarked copy. A very nice copy of a surprisingly difficult printing to source in hardcover, most especially with a dust-jacket in this condition. Fine in a fine dust-jacket.
