This copy remains in an exceptional state of preservation, particularly notable for the presence of its original printed dust jacket. The jacket is largely complete, presenting only minor nicks and shallow chipping to the spine ends, alongside light age-toning to the spine and extremities. The underlying green cloth binding (visible at the turn-ins and spine ends) is firm, clean, and unblemished. Internally, the binding remains tight and square. The untrimmed fore-edge and bottom edge show mild, scattered foxing, while the top edge is slightly dusty. The leaves themselves are remarkably bright, crisp, and free from significant foxing or wear, with only faint occasional spotting to the preliminary pages. A highly attractive and well-preserved copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is the first volume of the \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"48\"\u003eCollected Edition\u003c\/i\u003e of Thomas Sturge Moore's poems, finely printed at the esteemed Alcuin Press in Chipping Campden.

Yeats, Charles Ricketts, and the Vale Press. The striking, stylised cover design, echoed on both the binding and the dust jacket, is characteristic of Moore's own renowned aesthetic as a wood-engraver and book designer, reflecting the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eCopies retaining the original dust jacket and bearing a direct authorial inscription are uncommon on the open market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eA beautifully preserved, author-inscribed copy of the first volume of T.
