Los Angeles: Black Sparrow Press, 1968. First Edition. Wrappers. According to Morrow and Cooney (Bibliography of the Black Sparrow Press, 22), there were three paperbound issues of this book: 770 copies in oversized, untrimmed wrappers; 142 copies glued unevenly, and trimmed on all edges; and 26 copies from extra sheets intended for the hardbound edition, in trimmed wrappers, with colophon printed in blue (6 of which were used for presentation purposes). In addition, there were 69 copies handbound in boards. This copy, in wrappers trimmed flush, with colophon printed in blue, would then be one of the 20 such which were for sale. An early book of the press, in the numerically smallest issue. Some sunning to wrappers, otherwise a fine, unread copy. 8vo.
