Publisher’s quarter blue oasis morocco over cream-colored cloth boards, printed net cloth sheet loosely covering front cover, printed dust jacket on handmade paper, original slipcase with cork paper on boards. Jacket with some chips and repairs to spine, still, a very good copy.

This copy has some intriguing extras. First, a two-page autograph letter signed from the printers presenting “Alexandria” with this copy of the book; it is printed on the back of a printed article reproduction of an article about the publication of this book by the Tucson Daily Citizen. Second, a printed quarto-sized broadside notifying of the awards won by the loujon press for the Cork Ed. of this book, and thirdly, another broadside much like the previous one, without the central text (this one substitutes a hand-written note stating “Autograph at back of book.” Overall, an excellent package of the highest interest for Henry Miller fans as well as those interested in twentieth-century American fine presses.
