Estate sale find. Book and slip cover is in good condition. The pages are clean and open like a new book. I have marked this book as First publication, 1st Printing because on the publishers page there isn't any suggestion to any other printings of this book. Publication page has (The photograph used on the binding and the slip- case is by Roloff Beny). And Mine also says (New Directions Books are published for James Laughlin BY) and not (BY James Laughlin for). I have researched this book as much as possible for verification. FREE SHIPPING !!!
