Fourth impression. Octavo. Publisher’s grey cloth, lettered gilt, in the original dustwrapper. Signed by Philip Larkin to the title page. 
 
A near fine copy in a very good, price-clipped dustwrapper.
 
A signed copy of Larkin’s final collection of poetry.
 
The publication of High Windows was the last time that the publication of a volume of poetry was a genuine cultural event. Ten years had passed since Larkin’s previous volume of verse, and his publisher’s terse blurb to the front flap of the dustwrapper speaks volumes:
 
“No introduction is necessary to this new collection of poems by Philip Larkin. It is his first since The Whitsun Weddings (1964).”
 
High Windows contains both some of Larkin’s best, and some of his most popular poems, including, The Trees, High Windows, Going, Going, This Be The Verse, and Annus Mirabilis.
