[Charles Agvent]

MOORE,  Marianne. PREDILECTIONS. New York: Viking 1955. Her  first
book  of  prose, a collection of 22 literary essays.  Second  Printing
but  INSCRIBED on the half title page "For Ben Sackheim" and SIGNED by
the  poet with an interesting and acknowledged unnecessary  correction
by  Moore  on  page 76. Laid in is a review photograph (5"  x  7")  of
Moore  for  the book that is also INSCRIBED and SIGNED by her for  the
same  recipient.  It is the famous photo of her in her  trademark  hat
holding  gloves  by  George  Platt-Lynes featured on  the  cover  of A
MARIANNE   MOORE  READER.  Signed  photographs   of  Moore  are  quite
uncommon. Fine in close to Fine dustwrapper.                   $350.00
