In this volume, all his published poetry is brought together: "The North Ship", the pamphlet of "XX poems", "The Less Deceived", "The Whitsun Weddings" and his final book, "High Windows". In addition, many poems are published here for the first time. There is a substantial selection of early poems written from his middle teens to 1945, and several previously uncollected poems of his maturity, among them the few he completed and left unpublished after "High Windows". Anthony Thwaite has based the whole edition on the carefully preserved and dated notebooks and typescripts left by Larkin. An appendix lists in the order Larkin assigned to them the contents of each of the books and pamphlets published in his lifetime, together with the order of contents of the collection "In the Grip of Light", which he attempted to publish in 1947. As the editor observes, "taken together, the poems show the growth of a major poet, testing, filtering, rejecting, modulating, achieving"'. (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***A true first printing of the first edition of the first collected edition of Philip Larkin's poems, in nice collectable condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

First edition, first printing. Original dark olive cloth with white lettering to the spine, in the dustwrapper with Sue Linney's drawing of Larkin to the front panel. A very near fine, bright copy, the binding tight and square. There is a little light spotting to the top edge of the closed text-block, the contents are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the near fine dustwrapper which is a touch faded to the spine and lightly creased at the edges. Not price-clipped (£16.95 to the front flap). An attractive copy of the first collected edition of Larkin's poems. This posthumous collection, which presents all Larkin's published poems (and a selection previously unpublished) in chronological order of composition, was edited by Larkin's friend and fellow poet, Anthony Thwaite. It was later ousted by a less comprehensive (if more immediately user-friendly) edition, also edited by Thwaite, which printed the contents of each of the poet's four published collections intact, with some uncollected poems tucked away in appendices. Both versions have their adherents. Larkin arranged his slim volumes very carefully, so it's good to have the poems printed that way. This original edition, however, prints the date of composition at the foot of every poem (the dates drawn from the poet's manuscript notebooks), allowing the reader to witness the growth of a great poet. It includes an appendix indicating the ordering of the individual volumes, along with relevant page numbers. Published on 10th October 1988, 11,563 copies of this first impression were printed. Such was the appetite for a Collected Larkin, a further 8460 copies had to be printed later the same month (and another 12,700 the following month).
