Formatting: 8vo, pp. 70.

Condition Report: Very Good. The volume presents strongly with clean, unfaded green cloth boards and striking, unoxidised gilt lettering to the spine. The binding remains firm and square, displaying only the gentlest nudging to the spine tips and corners. Internally, the text-block is secure and largely bright; it shows some light, standard dust-toning to the top edge and typical minor foxing to the untrimmed fore-edge and bottom edge, though the pages themselves remain remarkably crisp and clean throughout.

Catalogue Note: This is a true first edition, first printing of W.B. Yeats’s A Full Moon in March. According to the Wade bibliography (Wade 182), the print run was limited to just 2,000 copies, making it a relatively uncommon find on the open market today.

The work notably features the title play alongside The King of the Great Clock Tower and a selection of verse. This copy is bound in the publisher's original green cloth, lacking the dust wrapper, but retaining its sharp gilt tooling and untrimmed edges.

A compelling collection from the later career of the Nobel Prize-winning Irish poet, A Full Moon in March brings together two of W.B. Yeats’s striking one-act plays alongside a selection of deeply resonant poetry. Accompanied by The King of the Great Clock Tower and verses that reflect Yeats's enduring esoteric and nationalist preoccupations, this slim volume distils the poetic intensity and symbolic drama that define his mature work.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
