Transmutations

Description

Jonas, Stephen: Wieners, John (introduction). Transmutations. London: The Ferry Press, 1966. First Edition. Black Cloth. Good. (63pp.) Very scarce hardback copy bound in black cloth; although not stated, these may well have only been for the book’s 24 subscribers. One of whom was this copy’s owner the British Poetry Revival poet, Peter Armstrong. Boards just fractionally bowed with a small strip of spotting at head of both boards & spine with a few isolated specks elsewhere. Thin water-stain (2cm at its widest) along head of the lightly soiled, nicked & torn dust jacket’s rear panel. Also, a small patch of colour transference from the cloth onto the inside of the dust jacket midway down the spine (invisible from the outside).
