ELIOT, T.S. A Practical Possum. 8vo, original pale green sewn printed wrappers, mild fading to edges, otherwise fine. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Printing Office, 1947
limited edition, number 35 of 80 copies, as stated "at the request of the author, no copies are for sale." The edition size was reduced from 80 to 60 by the calling-in of copies, which were sent to Eliot for disposal. "Printed, from the manuscript in the T.S. Eliot Collection at Harvard under the direction of Philip Hofer by a class of student printers" (Gallup). A quite scarce item, with no copies appearing at auction in over a decade. A clean, unmarked example. Gallup A47.
