MILLAY, EDNA ST. VINCENT. The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver . New York: Frank Shay, 1922. Small square 8vo. Original plain tan wrappers, stapled, within original printed red wrappers with vignette on front (a corner on front tan wrapper bit chipped, some slight edge wear to red wrappers); orange half morocco slipcase. FIRST EDITION., ONE OF FIVE COPIES PRINTED ON JAPAN VELLUM. PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed by Millay on half-title to the musician and book-collector Efrem Zimbalist: "To Efrem with very great love Edna." Inscribed by the publisher Shay on front tan wrapper: "One of five copies printed on Japan Paper, Frank Shay." Frontispiece and vignettes. The first trade edition of The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver consisted of 500 copies (all printed on regular paper); all but 75 of these were bound in orange wrappers identical to the red wrappers noted above; for window display in his Greenwich Village shop Shay had the 75 copies bound (15 each) in five different colored wrappers: red, dark green, apple green, yellow, and blue. "Simultaneously with the first edition there were printed five copies on Japan vellum, having the same title-page as the regular edition, but differing from the regular edition in that the endsheets were omitted... The only one I have seen was bound in red wrappers. Mr. Shay has no record or recollection of what other colors were used on these five copies" -- Yost 15. A FINE COPY AND OF EXTREME RARITY: there was no Japan vellum copy in the personal Millay collection of John S. Van E. Kohn.
