Very good.
Minor toning and edgewear to covers. Some slight abrasion and soiling as well. Inside clean and unmarked but for poet Kent Taylor's ownership signature, Diane Di Prima's signature and an arrow in what looks like Taylor's sloppy hand pointing to the beginning of the poem "Songs To Spring". Stapled binding is tight and secure.
Diane Di Prima's scarce first book, signed as well.
