NORTH WINTER

Iowa City: The Prairie Press, 1964. First edition. Stapled signatures: an unbound advanced copy intended for submission to a book award, with attached note: "This book will be published in November, 1964. Since no bound copies are available to meet the November 1 deadline, this unbound copy is submitted." Two small chips, one on each side, and edges browned, but still at least Very Good.

Scarce in this format and an uncommon book period; in this case providing an interesting glimpse at the inner workings of a small press. The Prairie Press was one of the most important U.S. small presses; it was founded by Carroll Coleman, this book designed by him.
