Heaney, Seamus. North. Faber and Faber, London, 1975, signed first edition, first impression, limited issue numbered 25 of 25; 8vo; pages uncut; original sage green cloth, white paper title label to upper board printed in black. F

The last of 25 copies specially bound, with a hand-written colophon each signed by Heaney. This issue was produced by Brian Dickson from sheets of the first edition which were discovered in the Faber & Faber warehouse in 1981. Most of the copies were given to Mr Heaney and friends of the binder though some were sold direct to collectors. The sheets in question were from the simultaneously issued, wrappered state of the first edition, the rubric on the verso of the title page differs between the two states.
