Description
ELIOT, T.S. (1888-1945). Four Quartets. New York: Harcourt, Brace & Company, 1943.

8vo. Original black cloth gilt; in unrestored dust jacket (rubbing, 1" closed tear at front dust jacket).

FIRST EDITION, FIRST IMPRESSION, with "first American edition" on title-page verso. Of the 4165 copies of the first impression that were printed, 377 were destroyed due to faulty imposition by unskilled wartime labor leading to incorrect margins. The entire impression would have been destroyed, but 788 copies were distributed for review and other purposes before the corrected issue was complete in order to meet the announced publication date and preserve copyright. Connolly, The Modern Movement 92; Gallup A43a.
