About This Item
New York: Covici, Friede,, 1933. A protest against Stalin's oppression of the individual First edition, signed limited issue, number 756 of 1,381 copies signed by the author, with an unsually smart example of the scarce dust jacket. Eimi was a travelogue, in Cummings's signature abstract prose, of his visit to the Soviet Union in 1931. As explained on the limitation page, the unusual limitation was apparently simply a reflection of the number of orders received by 15 February 1933. Large octavo. Original yellow cloth, spine and front cover lettered in black. With dust jacket. Housed in a custom tan morocco backed folding case. Cloth very fresh, some minor spotting to endpapers but sound and clean within, an excellent copy, with the jacket unusually well preserved, a few closed tears to edges and some general light foxing.
