J.B. YEATS Letters to his son W.B. Yeats and others, 1869-1922 by Yeats, J.B - 1944

1945 Faber hardcover 1st edition 3rd printing with dj (in two pieces) laid in. The best i can say about the dj is that it is still here, but brittle, and with a lot of chipping, edgewear (some tears closed), and soil/tanning. Book itself is very good, with corners bumped and frayed, light soil/sunning on cover, and inevitable page tanning. For NY state residents I am required to add 8.875% sales tax.

London: Secker & Warburg, 1983. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Reprint. Edited with a memoir by Joseph Hone and a preface by Oliver Elton. 296pp. Faint foxing on page edges and flyleaves, bumping at the foot of the spine, very good in a price-clipped, very good dust jacket with moderate edgewear, and faint foxing on the flaps with a sticker shadow on the front flap.
