AUDEN, W. H.
The Platonic Blow.
Probable First Edition. As with most things in Ed Saunders's career, things are neither simple nor quite what they first seem. In the present instance all aspects confirm to the description in Bloomfield of the regular issue (one of 300 copies printed on pearlescent paper, same size, pagination etc.) except that Bloomfield calls for the wrappers to be on heavier stock than the contents, whereas here the stock does not vary. We suppose this to have been one of an overrun of the 300, done cheaper for profit or as giveaways.
Octavo. Single quire, stapled. Original white wrappers printed in black. A fine copy.
