The Arctic Ox
London: Faber & Faber, (1964). First Edition. 8vo, 52pp; blue cloth. Fine in dust jacket with slightest hint of sun. Item #206985
Inscribed self-deprecatingly and ironically quoting the publisher's dust jacket blurb: "For Chester Page, far from sure as I am that "it will give pleasure" glad that it seems worth keeping, Marianne Moore, December 22, 1965." Ever meticulous, Moore has also made an ink correction of the spelling of a name in her footnotes. One of 1500 copies. There was no equivalent American edition. Abbott A23.
Price: $750.00
