T.S. Eliot: The Design of His Poetry 1953 vintage hardcover
$18.00
This is a “very good” green cloth-wrapped vintage hardcover published in 1953 by Charles Scribner’s Sons.
Binding and hinges are tight, not cracked. Brief, neat original owner name penned on front free end paper, a handful for pages in the first half of the book have some penciled underlining and a few very short marginal annotations at times, none of which impact the legibility of the text. No torn, folded or loose pages. Boards and spine are uniform in color, not tanned or sunned, board corners crisp.
Matching dust wrapper is complete, not price clipped. Some edge wear and chipping along spine and edges, more so along the upper, spine lightly tanned. Some tanning at upper edges. Overall, still quite pleasing.
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.

Volume I, III, and IV have their leather spine heads chipped, with IV being the most so. Gorgeous set, complete. See accompanying images for complete condition details.
