Poems. London: T Fisher Unwin, [1927]. Portrait frontispiece, title printed in red and black. Publisher’s dark tan calf, spine and upper cover with Celtic style design blocked in brown, upper cover with green highlights. Light wear to head of spine, otherwise a very good copy indeed.

Wade does not record this binding, which varies significantly from the usual blue-green cloth with Althea Gyles’s design. Wade notes that copies published during and after the war, when materials where scarce, continued using Gyles’s design, but blocked in blind, rather than gold.

The present copy discards Gyles’s design and employs a more expensive binding material, suggesting that perhaps a number of copies were bound for a deluxe or gift issue.
