The collection, called The World’s Finest Collection of Dylan Thomas, includes the first edition of the issue of the poet’s first book.


Called 18 Poems, the edition is the author’s presentation version and is inscribed to Caitlin.

It dates back to 1934 and has been valued at £25,000 making it the most expensive piece in the entire collection.


Five hundred sets of sheets were printed (half were bound in February 1936 with a round-back spine and these constitute the second issue).


Thomas was only 20 when the book appeared and had just moved to London the previous month.
