The book has three sections: The Man The Poet The Critic Book appears to have been professionally rebound for library use with new covers and endpapers using a style where they folded the inside corners underneath the endpapers. This caused a slight impression on the corners of pages near the beginning and end of the book and is most notable on the endpapers. There are no markings to indicate a rebound so this could be the original publisher's binding. Typical library treatments. Some pages appear to have an interesting publisher's blemish: a shadow that extends above the typeset area; some pages look like they were created using a photo process which retained the clipped corners of the original.
