THE COLLECTED LETTERS OF ROBINSON JEFFERS: With Selected Letters of Una Jeffers; [Three volumes, complete].
Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2009 - 2015. First edition of each of the three volumes. VOLUME ONE (2009) covers 1890 to 1930 (700 copies printed); VOLUME TWO (2011) covers 1931 to 1939 (525 copies printed); and VOLUME THREE (2015) covers 1940 to 1962 (only 425 copies printed). A duplicate set from the collection of Allen K. Mears, who is included in the acknowledgements for Volume I. He's also noted as the source of letters in Vol. I (p. 933); Vol. II (p. 988); and Vol. III (pp. 47 & 454). This set has a copy of an inscription from Karman to Mears in a mailing envelope laid into Vol. I. Mears' extensive penciled notations to the front endpaper of Vol. 2, which also has a printout of an email from Karman to Mears ("Here's the jacket for Volume 3") laid in along with a large color printout of proposed jacket for Vol. 3. (The only difference we note between the printout and the eventual dust jacket is that the background photos of Robinson and Una on the front and back panels are much clearer in the printout.) Volume 3 has a copy of a different inscription from Karman to Mears pasted to the front endpaper. Near fine to fine in fine dust jackets.
