There are two small, very faint stains near the spine heel, a very small brown stain on the front pastedown, and another very faintly scribbled patch near the top pastedown corner, but otherwise fine, the broadsides also fine and unmarked. A beautiful collection of well-regarded mid-to-late century American poets. Signed by Author(s).
