1914-1916 Oxford Poetry, Blackwell's. Among them all, this is the true first published appearance of his Poem Goblin Feet which he wrote for his wife Edith. This was released to private buyers and libraries, very small print run. Similar to many books at the time it was too expensive for the public. Private Library copies was a way to get it notice then do a general trade print run later for the public as Fifty New Verses for Children.
The private owner copies, exact same book without Library stamps and markings, sells for £5000 the few times they appear. Though this one is a library copy and originally sold as one, its extremely rare edition. Wear and tear and all the usual library markings and card holder. These could be removed, but again, that it is library copy is the authenticity.
