[Rarebooks] FS: Perfect Copy of THE WASTE LAND

[Charles Agvent]

ELIOT, T. S. THE WASTE LAND. New York: Boni & Liveright, (1922) [i.e., 
1923]. First Edition. Stiff black boards. Stated "Second Edition" in the 
colophon, this is actually a second impression of the First Edition from 
the same setting of type but with a different colophon and with the 
reading "mount in" on page 41 uncorrected. Gallup A-6b. Copy #734 of 
1000 numbered copies. Mostly unopened. A spectacular copy of both the 
book and the dustwrapper, just as new as the day it was published.

Though not identified as such, this copy is from the estate of Scofield 
Thayer, benefactor of the arts and publisher of the literary magazine 
THE DIAL from 1920 to 1926. Thayer was a school friend of Eliot and 
arranged for Eliot to be the 1922 recipient of the Dial $2000 annual 
award to a young American writer. The award is noted on the front panel 
of the dustwrapper. (#015702) $10,000.00
