The Venus Touch: Poems by Maureen Duffy [SIGNED]
DescriptionFIRST, LIMITED EDITION, no. 310/ 500. 8vo, pp. 62, [2] + b/w frontis and erotic line drawings by Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt. Bright salmon pink linen, spine lettered in gilt, upper board blocked and lettered in gilt. Pushing to spine ends, fox spots to edges. Signed in blue ink by Duffy to half-title, faint blotch to title page through first poem, a little musty. Else, tight and tidy. In the original tissue dust jacket, which simultaneously reveals and conceals the erotic image on the front board: spine and edges darkened, creasing to edges, extremities nicked. A very good copy of Duffy’s second poetry collection.
