Description
Matthews, William. Ruining the New Road. New York: Random House, 1970. First Edition. Blue Cloth. Near Fine. ix, 54pp. First collection. Matthews signature is on the title page. As seems to be common, as the dust jacket is a fraction smaller than the book, there are corresponding tiny strips of fading at head & tail of book & the protected dust jacket has a single nick & one or two minute touches of rubbing. Otherwise, a clean sharp copy of his first collection i like dust jacket.
