About This Item
New York: Tiber Press, 1960. First Edition. Fine. Complete in four folio volumes, each measuring 17½" x14¼". Each volume with three full-page color silkscreen prints and additional prints at title page and upper cover, original cloth-backed illustrated boards. First Edition. No. 47 of 200 copies. Each volume signed by the poet and artist on the limitation page. A Fine set, bright and sharp, in publisher's thick acetate jackets, housed in cloth slipcase with light shelf wear.
