Inscribed by Betjeman
BETJEMAN, John
Poems In The Porch
London: SPCK, 1954
8vo, unpaginated. Original illustrated stiff paper wrapper, lettered in blue and red to front panel. Age-toned, some wear and bumping to (outsize) wrappers, but a very good copy.
First edition, INSCRIBED ON HALF-TITLE BY THE AUTHOR: 'Inscribed for [?] Huggett John Betjeman 1970'.
Not a scarce book, but very scarce signed or inscribed. This copy was inscribed sixteen years after publication in Betjeman's by then very shaky hand.

By The Same Author
London: Privately printed, N.d. [1977?]
Single sheet broadside, 11.5" x 8" approx., printed on one side only.
First edition.
This scarce broadside was privately published from Betjeman's London home (the address of which appears at top right), and appears to have been issued as part of the fundraising campaign for the church which was launched in 1977.
Betjeman's frail and shaky signature at the foot of the poem is a facsimile - all copies we have seen are identical. The limitation is unknown but, given its very low survival rate, is presumed to be small.
