Review: I do wish I had seen this publication before I started collecting Poetry Books from the Great War to the Fifties because Catherine Porters ‘Miller’s Guide to Collecting Modern Books’ contains a wealth of information on the subject along with beautifully photographed Book Covers allied to each of its many headings. On Poetry alone the sections included : Poetry, T.S.Eliot and Ezra Pound, Poetry in America, Post-War Poetry, Contemporary Poetry and Women Poets. There is also a good section on Illustrated Books and illustrators. Measures 20 cm wide x 26.6 cm high, 160 pages.
