A handsome edition of Poems of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, published by The Folio Society, London, 1963. Selected and introduced by Graham Hough, this is a characteristic example of Folio Society bookmaking from their early period — beautifully typeset with a circular engraved portrait of Coleridge on the title page. The original slipcase is included. Folio Society editions of this vintage are increasingly sought after by collectors of fine press books and lovers of Romantic poetry.
