An aberration in this title's first appearance - "Earning a Rhyme" and "Something to Write Home About" do not correspond to their listings in the table of contents - was remedied in later editions. Bound in white cloth over boards. Minor bump else fine in fine slate-blue dust wrapper. Together with the first American edition, issued by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2002 in a run of 7,500 copies. Near fine in quarter black cloth and black paper over boards, in near fine dust wrapper. Prospectus laid in. Also with FSG's uncorrected proof in pale peach wrappers. Some sunning, edgewear, and single pencil mark to rear cover. Very good.
