One of only 460 copies. A triumph of 20th-century English publishing, Leonard and Virginia Woolf printed The Hogarth edition of The Waste Land by hand in an edition of just 460 copies. The marbled paper for the boards had been tried out for a handful of copies of the 1919 Eliot book Poems, which was also handprinted. The problem endemic to the edition being that the paper is very thin and much given to sunning. Consequently, nearly every copy we have seen is browned at the spine and most have significant wear and often loss to the backstrip.

First English Edition, sole printing, one of only 460 copies, printed by hand; 8vo; some very light, sporadic foxing, a little heavier toward the rear; publisher's marbled blue boards, white paper title label to upper board printed in black (the variant with the three rules), restoration to backstrip, boards a little rubbed and toned (as often), but a very good copy.
