About This Item
Madras, India: Kalakshetra Publications Press, 1984. Cloth. Very Good +/Very Good. Francesco Clemente.

A very solid copy to boot of the 1984 true 1st edition, #98 of 1,111 copies issued out of Madras, India by Kalakshetra Press. Clean and VG+ to Near Fine in its navy-blue (madras) cloth, with bright gilt-titling along the spine. Light bowing to the boards, otherwise very solid.
