The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson (Joan Didion's copy)
NY: Little Brown, 1960. First edition. Hardcover. Fourth printing. Joan Didion's copy, with a bookplate affirming this provenance on the front free endpaper.

Johnson, a biographer of Dickinson, this book collects all of her 1775 poems in their original form. At rear is a subject index and an index of first lines. A very good or better copy in gray buckram with one slightly bumped corner and very light foxing to the outer face of the text block. In a good or better jacket with browning to spine, some loss to spine tail, and fraying to top edges. A unique copy and compelling association. Didion and Dickinson are often evoked on the subject of grief in literature. Very good / Good. Item #1782
