NY: Alfred Knopf Canada, 1960. (CAD) First American Edition. There are two very small faint spots (possibly from rain drops) to the red dye to the top edge of pages, the faintest hint of wear to the lower cover edges, no markings, about Very Good in VG(-) unclipped Dustjacket with slight wear to spine foot and head, closed tear to head of spine, corner folds to flaps rubbed. Overall a fresh, clean tight copy. dark blue cloth with spine titles in silver, and author's mongram in turquoise to front cover, viii, 360pp, x index. A collection of Davies's writings on books, reading and various types of literature--a universe of books. This is a stated first edition with the American plates and the title page with the Alfred A. Knopf collophon, but the dustjacket has the McClelland and Stewart imprint to the spine, and the Davies quotation to the front panel. The rear flap indicates that the dustjacket was printed in (USA) the U.S.A. There is a photo of Davies to the rear panel. I am assuming that this is the American First edition with a Canadian dust jacket. (2.0 HOQ 103/b2. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good (-). 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
