The Waste Land
Richmond, Printed and published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press, 1923 (first English edition in book form)/ [1922].
Octavo, 37 pages (the last being a list of previous publications by the Hogarth Press).
Original blue marbled paper boards with paper title-label on the front cover; edges uncut and entirely unopened; covers sunned about the spine and very slightly worn and bumped at the extremities; a few very light spots of foxing (visible on only half a dozen pages); an excellent copy, internally effectively in fine condition.
A splendid unopened copy of this seminal work of modern poetry, hand-printed by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at their Hogarth Press in an edition of approximately 460 copies. The title-label on the front cover is here in Gallup's first state of three, with the title bordered with asterisks (he gives no priority). Gallup A6c; Rheim: 'The Handprinted Books of Leonard and Virginia Woolf', pages 23-24.
