Mount Horeb, WI: Perishable Press, Ltd, 1969. Edition limited to 256 copies, this being one of 56 copies on Shadwell paper handmade by the printer; 8vo, pp. [8], 39, [3]; frontispiece by Jack Beal, handset Palatino type; marbled paper boards by Douglas Cockerell & Son; fine. Essays previously published in Gentry and Atlantic Monthly. Two Decades, 22: "The book is a favorite because of occasion, the people involved (writer, artist, binder), the text, the paper, the binding. The author and artist were in Madison the same time, the former for the entire semester during which time there were many wonderful, crazy, silly, profound & hilarious times shared. It was a very rich and warm time for me."
