HEANEY, Seamus
Land
London: Poem of the Month Club, 1970
Single sheet broadside, 11" x 15".
One of 1000 copies SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
Founded in 1970 by Jack H. Clark and Winston Fletcher, the Poem of the Month Club sought to publish new work by leading poets, work which was to be signed by the authors and presented on high-quality materials suitable for display. Roy Fuller and C. Day-Lewis acted as recruiting sergeants for the enterprise (and were also part of the roster themselves), and the print run for each poem was 1000 copies.
A lovely example.

HILL, Susan
The Woman In Black
London: Hamish Hamilton, 1983
8vo, pp. 160. Original green boards, lettered in gilt to spine. Illustrated dustwrapper.
First edition of what has now become better known in its second incarnation. The stage adaptation of The Woman In Black is a West End phenomenon, and has been running in London since 1989. Like the book, it is genuinely creepy.
Scarce, and getting scarcer.
