Autographed Deluxe Cloth Hardcover Edition: Hand-Signed & Numbered by Rod McKuen (...And Autumn Came)
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of mid-century American poetry history, spoken-word recording culture, and limited-edition literary publishing: an official deluxe cloth-bound hardbound copy of ...And Autumn Came, written and hand-signed by celebrated poet, singer-songwriter, and composer Rod McKuen.
As one of the best-selling poets in American history, Rod McKuen (1933–2015) sold over 100 million books and records worldwide during the peak of his career in the 1960s and 1970s. Renowned for his accessible, deeply emotional, and introspective verse exploring love, solitude, and the human condition, McKuen also earned Academy Award nominations for his film compositions and wrote classic songs recorded by Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, and Barbra Streisand. First published in the mid-1950s and later reissued in special collector bindings, ...And Autumn Came represents one of McKuen's earliest foundational collections of poetry and prose.
Published as a special limited private printing, this deluxe volume features full natural beige woven-cloth boards with a square brown title label set into the front cover, printed in fine gold lettering ("...and autumn came / rod mckuen").
On an official preliminary limitation leaf, Rod McKuen has rendered a dark, fluent signature in black ink ("Rod McKuen"). The printed statement confirms that "This edition is limited, numbered, and signed by the author," with this copy hand-numbered
#690-6 directly above his autograph.Preserved in fine vintage condition with clean textured cloth boards, sharp corners, a square uncreased spine, tight binding, and clean internal pages with an unblemished signature, this autographed limited edition volume serves as an essential centerpiece for mid-century poetry archivists, rare book collectors, and American literature historians.
