London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd,. Very Good in Good+ dust jacket. 1942. Reprint. Hardcover. This book was published originally in JUNE 1942 - this copy was published in AUGUST 1942. So probably a second impression but it just states 'reprinted August 1942'. Fine red cloth covers with very bright gilt titling to the spine. Perhaps a very slight 'lean' to the book - but difficult to assess. In the original publishers dustjacket - NOT price-clipped but some chips to the front corners of the dustjacket and a former owner has reinforced the inside of the d/j spine with masking tape (! ) which doesn't show through and actually has protected the spine - a 0.3 cm only of this tape is neatly on the outside head/tail of the spine, and a small triangle of tape on the rear edge of the spine by the 'F' of 'Frensham'. All chips and head/tail of spine have also been tinted to match the green base of the d/j, and the dustjacket is now in a new protective clear -… Read More

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

There is not a foot of ground that has not been already scrutinized by a thousand eyes as keen as yours, and the old adage, "If new not true," may be applied to Jerusalem and her monuments with more propriety than to any other place on earth...." - Introduction from Poet and Peasant: A… Read More
