Description: Bynner, Witter. An Ode to Harvard and Other Poems. 8vo full black Greek goat, with original presentation cover inset and laid down as a cover label. Boston: Small, Maynard & Company 1907. The publisher's presentation binding was embellished with Harvard College seal stamped in black, blue and gold. First edition, first issue; pp. xii, 119; TEG, fore-edge untrimmed. One of the scarcest and most fragile first books in the American literary canon. These copies that were reserved for the poet for presentation purposes are highly valued. Bynner wrote a rare verse inscription on the front endpaper, which was detached but mounted and re-inserted during the conservation process. [Lindsay A1]. An essential title for any major American poetry or first books collection.
