The Rough Field, John Montague. First Edition 1972. Signed by the author. Hdbk

The Dolmen Press, Dublin 1972. Flat signed by the author to the title page. Marbled boards, with quarter green leather spine.

Boards very crisp and attractive, with minimal wear. Internally clean and bright with no markings. There was a trade paperback edition, and also a signed limited edition. Either Dolmen also issued this hardback edition simultaneously, in which case it is scarce, or someone has rebound the paperback in very fine binding. If anyone has further information about the bibliography I'd be interested to know.

Whatever the explanation, a lovely and scarce item.
