MASTERS, Edgar Lee. SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY. New York: Limited Editions 
Club, 1942. Tall octavo (7" x 10-1/2") bound in full linen with a 
gilt-lettered leather label. Printed by Joseph Blumenthal at the Spiral 
Press. Illustrated by Boardman Robinson and SIGNED by both the author 
and the illustrator. The only signed limited edition of this classic 
poem, first published in 1915 and here published with a new twenty-two 
page introduction by Masters. Of a total edition of 1500 copies, this is 
one of only 25 Presentation Copies with the publisher's blindstamp 
attesting to such on the colophon page where instead of a number the 
words "Office Copy" as well as the initials "G.C." are handwritten. 
Acquired directly from the publisher's files, this copy belonged to 
Gordon Carroll who was in charge of the club's operations in the 1970s 
when it operated out of Avon, CT. Covers soiled. Very Good or better, 
lacking the slipcase. (#016326)        $150.00
