About This Item
New York: Zero Press, 1956. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good +. 154 pages ; 21 cm. Hardcover. Publisher's original taupe & blue linen over boards, lettering to spine in blue. Book Condition: faint signs of handling, else fine. Almost certainly unread. Dust Jacket Condition: very light wear to the extremities, a little dusty, as usual with such a light colored background, a 1cm closed tear at the tail of the spine, some wrinkling at the folds. Signed by the great man himself; from the looks of it, while he was reclining on a motel bed with the magic fingers machine on. Impeccable provenance from the booksellers who handled much of Vidal's personal library in Amalfi. A sharp copy. Contents: Three stratagems -- The robin -- A moment of green laurel -- The Zenner trophy -- Erlinda and Mr. Coffin -- Pages from an abandoned journal -- The ladies in the library.
