destroyed (1-3 copies known) with the photograph of Patrick
Kavanagh in a flat cap (at Leopardstown races) with open
neck shirt and jacket. Photo by Philip Pocock.
Kavanagh objected to Liam Miller about the photograph
being ‘disrespectful’ and Miller had to destroy the copies and
re-issue the edition with ‘approved’ photos (by Liam Miller) of
Kavanagh with spectacles, no hat, taken by the Royal Canal
and 6 other photos in the book. This unissued book had no
other photos other than the full page frontispiece (also used
on the d/w front cover) first published 1963. The real first

which belonged to Liam Miller and these belonging to Colin
