Condition Report: Near Fine. This string-bound pamphlet remains exceptionally well-preserved, exhibiting a remarkably crisp and tightly bound structure that is uncommon for paper-bound volumes of this era. The brown paper wrappers are cleanly presented, showing virtually no shelf-wear, fading, or creasing to the extremities. The binding is completely sound, holding the gathering securely without any loosening or structural fatigue. Internally, the text block is pristine; the pages are notably bright and free from foxing, handling marks, or previous ownership inscriptions, reflecting a very carefully stored and unread copy.

Catalogue Note: Issued as the third instalment of the celebrated Yeats Centenary Papers, this monograph represents a key piece of mid-twentieth-century scholarship. The text was published to coincide with the centenary of W. B. Yeats's birth and was produced under the general editorship of Liam Miller, an influential figure in Irish publishing and private press printing.

The volume is presented in its original, untouched state, without later secondary bindings or institutional stamps. While individual papers from this series do appear on the open market, finding a copy in such sharp, unsullied condition is increasingly desirable for collectors of Irish literature.

In Yeats and Innisfree, Russell K. Alspach delves into the enduring allure and geographical realities of W. B. Yeats's most famous poetic landscape. Through meticulous analysis, Alspach explores how the idyllic imagery of 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' serves as both a literal homage to County Sligo and a profound spiritual retreat within the poet's mind. This concise, scholarly study is an essential companion for enthusiasts seeking to understand the intricate blend of folklore, memory, and longing that characterises Yeats's early masterpiece.

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.
