AUDEN,  W. H. and KALLMAN, Chester. STRAWINSKY, Igor  (STRAVINSKY,
Igor).  THE RAKE'S PROGRESS. OPERA IN THREE ACTS. [New York]: Boosey &
Hawkes    (1951).   First  Edition.   Printed  wraps.   Libretto   for
Stravinsky's  opera.  SIGNED  by both Auden and Kallman on  the  title
page  with Auden's customary striking out of his printed name as  well
as  Kallman's.  Alas,  Auden's  signature  is  smudged  from  a  small
waterstain  though still more or less readable. Soiling to covers with
small  tear  to front cover near center of spine. Quite uncommon  item
to  find  signed, especially by both librettists. Owner blindstamp  on
first page of text. Still Very Good.                           $350.00
