Original printed wrapper remains notably bright and free from the heavy toning, presenting beautifully within a protective sleeve. There is minor rubbing to the extremities and slight darkening to the spine panel, though the lettering remains crisp and fully legible. The binding is tight and square, lacking any sign of weakness to the hinges or rolling to the spine. Internally, the pages are crisp and exceptionally clean, entirely devoid of foxing. The title page, featuring the author's signature, is remarkably fresh, confirming a highly collectible and well-preserved copy of this fragile 1930s publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note: \u003c\/b\u003eTrue first edition, first impression of Clifford Dyment's debut poetry collection, published as part of J.

Signed copies of Dyment's early works are uncommonly encountered on the open market, particularly in such an excellent, unrestored state retaining the series advertisements on the rear panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eClifford Dyment's debut collection, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"36\"\u003eFirst Day\u003c\/i\u003e, introduces a poetic voice characterized by its profound lyricism and quiet, incisive observation of the natural world. Emerging in the 1930s—a decade heavily dominated by the politically charged verse of his contemporaries—Dyment carved out a distinct and enduring space with his contemplative, intimate poetry. This volume captures the raw, burgeoning talent of a poet whose work would soon earn him wide acclaim and a secure place among the significant literary figures of mid-century Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53800743633235,"sku":"4101-RM-F-VG-37","price":79.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260609_153939.jpg?v=1781020238","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/first-day-clifford-dyment-1st-edition-signed","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
