Lupercal

Faber & Faber (London), 18 March 1960 is the true first, confirming the census claim; Hughes received author's copies on 23 February 1960, ahead of publication. The Harper & Brothers (New York) 1960 issue is the first American — 750 copies, Sagar & Tabor A3.a.2, in purple cloth — and follows the Faber. Both are collected. The American issue is identified by "Harper" stamped on the spine and by page 5 being numbered.
