STEVENS, Wallace (1879-1955). Ideas of Order. New York: The Alcestis Press, 1935.A presentation copy of Stevens's second book of poems. Inscribed on the title page: "To Norman Unger / Wallace Stevens." The edition was limited to 20 copies on Duca di Modena handmade paper, 135 copies on Strathmore, and ten out-of-series copies, of which the present copy apparently is. Instead of a number, Lew Ney, the printer and designer, has written: "Pressman's strike-in copy for A. Vincent Harcourt. February 8, 1936. Lew Ney." Norman Unger was a noted New York collector of modern first editions who often befriended his authors. His collection was acquired by Maurice Nevlille in the 1980s. Upon publication, Stevens was so thrilled by the production of Ideas of Order that he refused royalties so that the newly-founded Alcestis Press might make a profit. Edelstein A2.a.Octavo. Stiff paper wrappers, only top edge trimmed (short closed tear at head of spine, rear wrapper separating from text block). Original unprinted glassine (some chipping to spine panel ends and extremities). Custom box. Provenance: A. Vincent Harcourt (inscription) – Norman Unger, noted book collector (authorial inscription).
