[JEFFERS,  Robinson] JEFFERS, John Robinson. FLAGONS AND
        APPLES.  Los Angeles: Grafton Publishing Company 1912.  First
        Edition.  Cloth-backed  boards  with   paper  labels.  Poet's
        scarce  first book, printed in an edition of only 500  copies
        at Jeffers's  own  expense,  480 of which were  sold  by  the
        printer  to  a  San Francisco used bookstore.  INSCRIBED  and
        SIGNED  by  the  author on the front endpaper:  "This  rather
        absurd    little    book   is     inscribed/for   Herman   A.
        Oriel--/Cordially,/Robinson   Jeffers./Tor   House,   Carmel,
        California./December,12  1939." Some foxing to endpapers  but
        with no  real  detrimental  effect on  the  inscription.  The
        label on  the  front cover is intact, the spine label  nearly
        so with  a little chipping. Some spotty erosion to the  cloth
        spine but  not  terrible.  Very Good or better  with  a  fine
        inscription.                                         $2000.00
