Happens. No guilt there. I've my grandfather's copy of his collected poems. Only a little A5ish thing, 'been around the block a bit'. Treasures within. Edward Thomas is one of those that should be on a pedestal but is not.

I've got the faber book of selected poems, I think you might like it. My wife bought me 'The Icknield Way' which is competing with Gunns 'Atom of Delight' for next read.
