a twearp's copy

From the library of the poet and critic T. W. Earp. with his harlequin bookplate to the front paste down. Earp - rather unfortunately was the source of the insult 'twearp' one of which he apparently was.

First edition, first impression, first issue; small 8vo; publisher's drab paper boards, titles to upper board and spine gilt; an especially nice copy almost entirely free from the rubbing that plagues this publication.
