[Charles Agvent]

BISHOP, Elizabeth. NORTH & SOUTH. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 
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. (#011334) $6,500.00
