Chris Foster Posted 22 July , 2008 Share Posted 22 July , 2008 I have a book which my wife gave me when we first meet called Selected Poems by Rupert Brooke. First Edition was published March 1917, this one I have is a second impression April 1917. Is there are any other forum member's who also own a copy Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Sidgewick & Jackson "Collected Poems" (July 1918), with a Memoir by Eddie Marsh, but not, alas, the earlier "Selected Poems".

Chris Foster Posted 22 July , 2008 Author Share Posted 22 July , 2008 Its a beautiful little book Mick, about A 5 in size, it runs to 75 pages, with a slate blue cover, and the much published photo of R.B on the inside. Is it a rare item ? Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 22 July , 2008 Share Posted 22 July , 2008 Don't know, I'm afraid, Chris. You could perhaps check for copies on that online auction site thingy or on Abe Books. The "Collected Poems" is the same size, also slate-blue, and also with the famour portrait pic inside — but with 159 pages. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
