Fine. First edition. Cover art by Margaret Wirstrom. Tall octavo. 97 [5] pp. Trifle worn, just about fine in glossy pictorial wrappers. Warmly Inscribed to Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Donald Justice on the title page, and with an Autograph Letter Signed to him, passing the book along, laid in (folded for mailing and just a bit of creasing, near fine). Chin was a student of Justice's. A nice association.
