Sobre este artículo
Small thin 4to. Toronto: Hawkshead Press, 1961. Small thin 4to, [16pp.], loosely inserted (once glued) into stiff white card wrappers with a black and white design on the upper cover repeated in reverse on the lower cover. Staining where the glue bled through the cover, otherwise in very good condition as issued. § Rare first state of Margaret Atwood's first book, a collection of poetry published letterpress in the Market Book Series as Book One of the series. This copy is one of the first state where the glue attaching the booklet to its cover dried up and the booklet is loose in the covers. It is estimated there were 80 or 90 of these. Atwood then decided to staple the remainder to the cover, for a possible total of 200 to 220 copies in all. Today they are all but unfindable in acceptable condition. Margaret Atwood is probably best known for her speculative fiction such as The Handmaid's Tale, though her published works range so widely as to defy description.
