Description: The Enormous Room E.E. Cummings SIGNED 1st Edition TRUE First State Scarce Boni & Liveright, New York, 1922. Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. The book does not have the original dust jacket, which is notoriously fragile, and is protected in a facsimile dust jacket. 1st Edition. The First USA printing published by Boni & Liveright, New York in 1922. The BOOK is in about near Fine condition. The first state with 'shit' uncancelled on p. 219 and original publisher's tan buckram. Light toning to the text block but the pages remain clean and the binding is extremely sturdy. You can tell this was rarely read. Some soiling overall and trace shelfwear. I bought this from an ABAA book dealer in Connecticut of great repute in business over many years, and discovered, this book was part of the estate of James Laughlin, who founded New Directions Publishing and published authors such as Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Tennessee Williams and E.E. Cummings among MANY others. It was part of his personal collection, no doubt given to him by the great E. E. Cummings. I am happy to give any other details I have! The book has been signed (without dedication) by the author in blue ink on the title page. Kennedy, Cumming's biographer, says less than 2,000 copies of this debut title were published. Very scarce. A wonderful association copy.
