The Pisan Cantos

No book-club issue is documented for this title. The reprint tells are later New Directions printings, the Sixth Avenue jacket state noted above, and the modern New Directions Paperbook edition (ISBN 9780811215589) edited and annotated by Richard Sieburth, which is a first thus and is the copy most often mistaken for the 1948 book on title alone. One correction of emphasis to the census note: The Pisan Cantos did win the inaugural Bollingen Prize, awarded by the Library of Congress by a jury including T. S. Eliot, but dealer descriptions split between calling it the 1948 and the 1949 prize because it was the award for 1948 made in February 1949 — the page should say 'inaugural Bollingen Prize (the 1948 award, announced February 1949)' rather than pick a year.
