Item description

Only Copy available on the Internet and only one of 60 left for sale A Practical Possum, T.S. Eliot, Harvard University Printing Office, 1947. A Very Rare Limited First Edition, First Printing of an Edition of 80, and as stated "at the request of the author, no copies are for sale." Actually the edition size was reduced from 80 to 60 by the calling-in of copies, which were sent to Eliot for disposal. This is #75 out of the original 80. The original poem is 5 pages, and has Title page and Copyright page with production page at the end. Please read the pictures for further information. A Very Good + copy. The binding is very cheap as originally produced and poem is held in with one set of strings. The pages are clean other than what is stated here. It has two watermarks of the Harvard Library, and raised imprint of the same, and a very small penciled name erased on Copyright page.
