Buy this book on-line ANTHOLOGY. John Betjeman : Public School Verse. An Anthology 1924-1925. (SIGNED BY JOHN BETJEMAN)William Heinemann, London, 1925
First Edition (first printing). This copy signed by Betjeman twice, once on the front free endpaper alongside a note of his correction, and again at the base of his contribution on page 26 (this leaf also exhibits a single minor correction in his hand). 8vo. viii, 40pp. Paper-covered boards with a tanned and lightly chipped paper spine label. The boards rubbed at the corner tips and extremities, and a little blemished in places. Some spotting throughout, mostly confined to the margins, and one text leaf detached and laid-in. Tiny dealer plate to the base of the front pastedown, above which is a contemporary former owner name and date. A good copy, most uncommon with Betjeman's signature. No dust wrapper, almost certainly as issued. Betjeman contributes his poem 'The Song of a Cold Wind', which was originally printed anonymously in 'The Marlburian' a year earlier and here marks the poet's very first appearance in bookform. The fifth volume of this Public School Verse anthology series, here featuring twenty-nine poems by seventeen authors.. Book. Book Condition: Good.
