in someone's shadow

The book is in fair condition. The cover shows signs of wear with some fraying at the spine and edges. The binding remains intact, though the absence of a dust jacket leaves the boards exposed to further wear. There are no inscriptions or library markings, maintaining the book's original state.

"In Someone's Shadow" by Rod McKuen is a first printing published by Cheval Books in 1969, distributed by Random House in New York. This edition stands out as an early example of McKuen's evocative poetry, capturing the spirit of the 1960s with its introspective and often poignant themes. Known for his unique voice and emotional depth, McKuen was a prolific poet and songwriter whose works resonated with a wide audience during his time. This particular edition is scarce, especially in its first printing, making it a valuable addition for collectors of mid-20th-century poetry. The book is a hardcover without a dust jacket, showing signs of wear typical for its age, including some spine and cover wear. The absence of inscriptions or library markings enhances its appeal for collectors interested in original, unmarked copies.
