Faint splash mark to lower left corner of front wrapper, else Near Fine, lacking the original envelope. Distinguished copy of this Melville-inspired poem, inscribed to Bradbury's long-time editor and literary agent Don Congdon. Bradbury was one of Congdon's first clients, after he left his job at Simon & Schuster in 1947 to set up his own agency. It was Congdon to whom Bradbury dedicated Fahrenheit 451, and who negotiated the publication of some of Bradbury's best-known works. A superb association.
