The covers are lightly toned to the edges and there are some minor professional repairs to the spine. No inscriptions and the 18 pages of contents are complete. Some very light creasing to the outer edges of some of the pages. A very good copy of this exceptionally fragile publication which is now protected in a loose Mylar archival cover. This was the second of only three poetry pamphlets that Rosenberg published in his lifetime. This work, containing 22 poems, was published in a run of roughly 100 copies just prior to his enlistment in the army.
