BISHOP, Elizabeth. NORTH & SOUTH. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1946. First 
Edition. Her first book, of which only 1000 copies were printed. This 
copy is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the title page: "Best 
wishes to Varujan Boghosian - from/Elizabeth Bishop/October 11th, 
1973/Hanover." Varujan Boghosian was an art professor at Dartmouth best 
known for his constructions. There is some light offsetting to the title 
page from a previously laid in newspaper clipping, but it has very 
little detrimental effect on Bishop's writing. The dustwrapper is 
complete but for a small jagged chip at the top front panel near the 
spine and minor chipping at the spine tips. There is also a closed tear 
and resulting crease at the bottom of the rear panel. Near Fine in an 
about Very Good dustwrapper and scarce when signed.         $6,500.00
