WHARTON, Edith. TWELVE POEMS. London: The Medici Society, 1926. First 
Edition. Blue cloth-backed boards in the original and very scarce 
dustwrapper with the name and title printed on the front panel and spine 
along with the remnants of a cellophane dustwrapper, likely not 
originally issued with the book but which has been on it for a long 
time. Copy #69 of only 130 SIGNED by Wharton, one of her scarcest titles 
and the only issued in a SIGNED limited edition. Garrison A40 (wrongly 
claiming the signature is a stamped facsimile). Small armorial bookplate 
of Limur at the top of the front pastedown with the larger bookplate of 
Charlotte Emily Purcell dated May 29, 1937, below it. Pencil note in 
upper left corner of the front endpaper stating that only 10 copies in 
this country were issued. Laid in is a 1981 invoice from John Howell 
along with a letter to the purchaser from Warren Howell. About Fine in a 
close to Fine and scarce dustwrapper with minor browning to the spine 
and chipping to the spine tips. (#019799)        $7,500
