About This Item
Paris: The Black Sun Press, 1930. First Edition. Neat ownership inscription; offsetting affecting the wrappers, creating a "shadow" of the paper covering of the slipcase - mostly on the protective glassine; a fresh and unworn copy in the original slipcase. 8vo, 56 [4]pp; original printed wrappers. One of only 50 copies on Japan vellum and signed by Pound; there were an addition 325 copies in the regular issue. As in all of the Japan vellum copies, Pound has signed on the half title page with a calligraphic flourish. The owner's inscription, by poet and scholar Dean B. Lyman, is at the top of the same page. Loosely inserted is the publisher ticket repeating the number of this particular copy from the limitation sequence (copy 10). An exceptionally well-preserved copy. Gallup A32.
