One of 1000 copies. Eliot's second book, published anonymously. Pound's tireless commitment and dedication to Eliot and his poetry, how to get it published and appreciated by a wider audience, prompted Eliot to write this pamphlet, though anonymously in order to avoid accusation of mutual promotion. Pound suggested the title and the pamphlet was published early in January 1918, carefully timed to tie in with another Knopf publication, Ezra Pound's Lustra.

First edition, sole printing, one of 1000 copies; 8vo; frontispiece with a reproduction of an ink sketch by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska; original pink boards, titles to upper board gilt, back strip just a touch faded, boards very lightly marked, nonetheless a very decent copy.
