8vo., 86pp. Beautiful Unread First Printing of this collection of Howard's poetry, compiled, (and subsidized), by Glenn Lord, Howard's literary executor. One of only 636 copies printed, (Jaffery, p.54; Joshi, p.62-63; ISFDB). First state binding with author and title running bottom to top on spine. Square tight and clean throughout with little or no wear. Some darkening to end-papers which is found on almost all copies, though milder than many. Equally attractive unclipped wrapper, ($3.00), is fresh and bright with no chipping, creases, toning, tears or rubbing that is so common with this title. Remarkably well-preserved. A simply gorgeous collectable copy at a great price.
