"The Westward Wind" was the required txt for a Poetry class at my local community college. The "used" book I received from Alibris was barely used, if at all! Best of all, it cost about half as much as the college bookstore was asking for a "used" copy.
It's a great book at any price. Easy to read and enjoy even if you aren't using it as a text book for a class.
