MOORE, MARIANNE. Poems. 8vo, publisher's patterned wrappers, sewn, printed paper cover label, slightly tanned along edges; internally with occasional browning/spotting. First edition of the author's first book, signed by her, and with an additional Christmas presentation inscription: "For Lorraine and John. The Fish? You don't have to read the rest. With love Marianne Moore. Dec 25 1968." Published without Moore's knowledge (nor blessing as it turned out) at the expense of her friends, H.D. and Bryher (Winifred Ellerman): not surprisingly, this volume is seldom found signed or inscribed by the poet. London: The Egoist Press, 1921
