Notes
"Advance proofs uncorrected ... Price: [blank], Publication Date: [blank]"
"First edition"--Title page verso.
"This is a Borzoi book"--Title page verso.
Extensive changes were made from the proof to publication: "My Elm" appears in proof, but not in the book, "Chloe's Poem" and "Minority Report" appear in the book, but not proof. Stanzas and lines were omitted and added to various poems. "Nude Natens" appears in proof as does "Marie, Upon Seeing Her Swim Nude," but by publication date, Updike changed the name from "Marie" to "Anthea." "My Children at the Dump" has been shortened between proof and the book. "The Naked Ape" was rewritten. The text of the proof differs throughout. In addition to specific changes already stated, many phrases and sentences in this proof do not appear at all in the book and vice versa. The order of the poems also differs in five instances between the proof and the book. Cf. De Bellis & Broomfield and bookseller's notes.
Library's copy housed in gray cloth clamshell box.
Printed on proofing paper.
Printed on rectos only.
