Dylan Thomas' personal copy of his first poetry book up for auction
An inscription written by Thomas in ink inside the book's cover is crossed out, but refers to his first serious girlfriend - the writer, Pamela Hansford Johnson, who he almost married at one stage.
Another inscription, in pencil, reads "My Own Copy", before a final note - "Given to Emily in 1937" - suggests he presented it to another romance, the American writer, Emily Homes Coleman.
