About This Item
La Jolla: Prospect Avenue Press, 1969. First Edition. Hardcover. Collectible Near Fine/Very Good. 1st printing. Gilt-stamped cloth. 113pp. Illus. Presentation inscription on ffep signed and dated by Jeffrey in 1973. Near fine copy, but we note the minor distraction of browning along the gutter of the free endpapers and facing pps as two leaves on both ends were apparently glued along the gutter. This will not be a problem for most collectors, and perhaps the publisher did this with every copy. The vg dj has small chips along the top edge.
