About This Item
New York: New Directions, (1957). First American (offset) edition. Octavo, black cloth, pp. xxiii, 66. All 3,000 sets of sheets that were printed omitted the last two lines on page 24. The publisher retained only eleven copies thus, and the next 999 copies had a cancel leaf inserted at page 24 [as here]. The remaining sheets were subsequently bound with a four page cancel fold. This copy with the cancel leaf is from the earliest [i.e. second] issue that one is apt to find. Front endpapers slightly browned from an acidic insert, previous owner name, date and address pencilled on endpaper, page edges tanned, one corner a touch bumped, else a very good copy in a dust jacket with some fading to the red letters on the spine, and a couple of very tiny tears.
