Signed limited edition
e.e. cummings, 1931
CUMMINGS, E. E. (1894-1962). W. New York: Horace Liveright, 1931.

First edition, signed, one of 95 copies (this is copy 49). Cummings’s third major collection of poetry, W shows the poet’s growing ease of experimentation with typography and design. It contains some of his best known poems, such as "I sing of Olaf glad and big,” “in a middle of a room,” and “somewhere I have never traveled.”

Quarto. Original cloth-backed boards (very minor soiling), glassine jacket; publisher's slipcase (slipcase slightly worn, else fine); custom box.
