Publication: London, Brookside Press, 1970

Formatting: 8vo, pagination unstated.

Condition Report: Good. The original dark green cloth boards remain structurally tight and robust, retaining bright, unrubbed gilt lettering to the spine and sharp corners that suggest minimal shelf-wear. Internally, the text block is clean and largely free of foxing, though the front and rear endpapers exhibit noticeable shadowing and offsetting from historical tape application. The original, unclipped dust jacket (retaining the 6/- flap price) is completely intact but visibly compromised by a prominent, dark rust-like stain to the lower front panel, alongside a lighter liquid stain to the rear wrap and tape remnants to the inner flaps. The jacket is now preserved in a removable mylar sleeve.

Catalogue Note: First edition. This copy bears the author's signature to the front free endpaper.

Issued by the independent Brookside Press, this volume represents a scarce survival of mid-century small-press poetry. Copies of Wright’s early work are exceptionally uncommon on the open market. Finding a first printing that retains its original dust jacket and features an authorial signature presents a notable, albeit aesthetically flawed, acquisition for collectors of obscure 1960s British verse.

A deeply personal and culturally resonant collection, Another World gathers the selected verses of Keith Wright composed between 1963 and 1965. Navigating the shifting social paradigms of the 1960s, Wright’s distinct poetic voice offers an intimate lens into an era of transformation, making this scarce small-press publication a fascinating artifact of mid-century literary exploration.

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.
