DESCENT TO THE DEAD: Poems Written in Ireland and Great Britain.
New York: Random House, 1931. First edition. ONE OF 50 SIGNED COPIES DESIGNATED FOR REVIEW, issued in addition to and, one would assume, prior to the 500 copies in the regular signed/limited issue (Broomfield A14[1]). Publisher's review slip laid in with projected publication date December 7, 1931. SIGNED BY JEFFERS on limitation page with "Review" written in black ink (in place of a number). Quarto cinnamon Tokugawa paper over flexible boards with vellum spine lettered in black. Broomfield doesn't call for a slipcase for copies sent for review but one is present with this copy, though it's too tight and is subsequently split at the top. The book is very nearly fine with just mild aging to spine; in good to very good slipcase with split at top as described.
