First edition. The scarce "special issue" in a blue gray paper dust jacket, one of 200 copies, 30 going to the author the rest to the Foundation. Not to be confused with the 1964 copyright "trade edition" in a white dust jacket, with 3500 copies printed. An offprint (preceding) from the four-volume EUGENE ONEGIN translated by Nabokov. Still a highly regarded work on prosody. This copy with the small bookplate (and small withdrawn stamp) of Bollingen author Wilmarth Lewis on the front flap and pencil note of receipt, otherwise fine with publisher's compliments card laid in.
