Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed in the U.S.A. [Date from the copyright page.] First Printing. Foreword, 413 Letters, Illustrated with Photographs, Appendix, Index; xx, 407 pages, colophon. Quarter cloth: Celadon green paper-covered boards are clean with corners square; a matching spine label with black lettering; the ivory-colored cloth on the spine shows some spotting. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] The interior is fresh and completely clean, with celadon endpapers matching the covers, though the rear endpaper has a superficial crack just starting. Top-edge colored ochre. The original dustjacket is price-clipped, with a few spots and a small tear. [Again, see images.] The photograph of the sculpture by Jo Davidson on the jacket and title page was done by Johan Hagemeyer. "Arranged chronologically, [the letters] create an impressive and cumulative image of Jeffers from the age of ten until the day before his death."---from the flap. "His love letters to Una are among the most touching in the world; and so are his letters about her after she died. Without her he would not have been the person he was: the powerful poet, the complex man whose every sentence in these letters comes up out of a depth where playfulness is by no means inconsistent with a seriousness that no doubt could be terrifying even to him."---from the Foreword. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.

Signed by the editor on the opening flyleaf, by Ann Ridgeway which bothers none of the text. New and bright all around, gift quality.
