Wintering Out
Seamus Heaney · Faber and Faber, London · 1972
No book-club issue documented. The dominant trap is a 1973 hardback — Faber or Oxford University Press — described as 'the first edition'; both are a year later than the wrappered original, and Ulysses Rare Books catalogues a 1973 issue as the second issue. Because the true first is a paperback original, condition tells (spine toning, panel wear, chipping at the spine foot) rather than jacket points govern identification; jackets belong to the 1973 hardbacks only.
