Cohen, Leonard — Let Us Compare Mythologies (scarce first printing)

Montreal, QC, McGill Poetry Series & Contact Press, 1956. 1st. Hardcover. True First Edition of Cohen's first book. 79 pp. + drawings by Freda Guttman, octavo, black cloth, dustjacket. Fine text: tight, square and fresh with no owner's name. Very minor wear to upper tips, usual slight offsetting to paste-downs. Fragile dustjacket is Very Good with some darkening at foldovers as usual, couple of short edge-tears, some soiling, including some minor tape shadows, in the spine area, a bit of edge-chipping to the extremities (up to 5/8" at head of spine). Front and rear panels are virtually complete and very nice. Attractive copy of scarce book as only a few hundred copies were printed. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.
