About This Item
(Norfolk): New Directions, no-date [1952]. First U.S. edition. This publication was a joint venture between New Directions and Peter Owens in London but the sheets, which were printed in Ireland, were held up in U.S. customs resulting in the UK edition preceding this one. Ruminations on key books in his life and a list of those he someday intended to read. Some light foxing otherwise near fine in good to very good dust jacket slightly toned at spine and with shallow chipping to spine ends.
