shipping boxes, as well as presentation and publisher's copies, 
portfolios of signed prints, and pieces of original art for the book, 
including in some cases the entire set of original drawings and even 
unused pieces.

relief engravings. The selection includes eight early and previously 
uncollected poems as well as a preface and memoir by Heaney. One of 2000 
numbered copies SIGNED by Heaney, Pearson, and Thomas Flanagan who wrote 
the introduction. The nature of the leather of this binding leads to 
some variation in color and texture. Monthly Letter laid in. Very mild 
sunning to the spine. Fine in a Fine slipcase. (#000490)        $600.00
