Albert Haddock — Verses

Bromley, Kent County Press, [1946]. First edition. Paperback. The first edition of this very scarce poetry collection from the relatively unknown Albert Haddock. First edition. Very scarce. In the publisher's original soft covers. A lovely selection of verses, grouped under the headings: "The Way of Life", "Contemplative", "Narrative", "Greetings", "Songs", and "In Lighter Vein". In the preface, William E. Palser, a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, introduces the relatively unknown poet Albert Haddock as an ex-businessman able to apply his wide-ranging interests to lines on religious, natural and philosophical themes. In the publisher's original soft covers. Externally, smart with slight shelf wear, leading to one or two small closed tears to the edges. Covers are understandably age toned, given the age of the work, with the odd spot and mark. Internally, a little delicate, but generally firmly bound. A reasonably bright and clean example with the occasional spot. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
