One of 150 interesting items included in our HOLIDAY 2008 Catalogue now
posted on our web site. Included are beautifully bound classics, signed
books, fine press titles, poetry, illustrated books, and the unusual.
STRAND, Mark. SLEEPING WITH ONE EYE OPEN. Iowa City: Stone Wall
Press 1964. First Edition. Pulitzer Prize winning poet's scarce first
book, copy #40 of only 225 numbered copies. Apparently issued with a
glassine, but not on any of the dozen or so copies we have seen. This
copy INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper "For
Gary/with both eyes open/--Mark Strand/July 28, 1966." Unusual to
find with a contemporary inscription. Small split to paper at front
hinge. Spine with usual fading, the gilt still clear. Very Good or
better copy of this important title. $1750.00
