Octavo. 72pp. An apt association copy of the work of one Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress (Eberhart, 1959-61) to another (Untermeyer, 1961-63). One TL from Eberhart to Untermeyer tipped in at front pastedown, in which Eberhart congratulates his friend on his appointment to the position; the other at rear, in which the Eberhart chuckles about the absurdity of juxtaposition. Extra typed card laid in. Also laid in are various clippings concerning Eberhart, most from The New Yorker, as well as a card from the publisher requesting Untermeyer's review of the book. Bound in full yellow cloth, mildly toned to spine and edges, else near fine in very good dust wrapper.
