Notes
The second edition - often called a second impression but in fact the type had been accidentally redistributed and needed to be reset - of Larkin's third collection, printed in a run of 1,320 copies and issued in soft covers to the same design as the dustjacket on the first edition. Subsequent editions returned to the hardback format.
