About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Harper & Row, 1971. First American Edition 5th or later Printing. Hardcover. Very Good+/Very Good. Plath, Sylvia. Plath's novelized treatment of her own descent into madness & despair, in 296 pages, including a Biographical Note by Lois Ames & 8 previously unpublished drawings by Plath. Orig. published in Britain under a pseudonym, this is the FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, Seventh printing. Hardcover 8vo with purple cloth-covered boards is in VG+ condition: exceptionally clean & bright, but faded to the top 1/8" all around. Binding strong & straight, pages creamy white & unfoxed. A strip across the top edge of the ffep has cut out, presumably to delete former owner's name. The unclipped DJ (with orig. $6.95 price intact to front flap) is VG, marred only by small chips at both ends of spine; nicely protected in new clear mylar cover.
