Kent, OH: Kent State University Libraries, 1978. Second edition. Blue printed wraps, stapled. 8vo. Originally published in 1950, this edition with original epigraphs not included in the first printed edition, with other revisions; preface by the author, and an afterword by Robert Bertholf. Of 624 copies, the colophon notes 126 lettered and numbered copies signed by the author. This copy inscribed to Bertholf's wife Ann[e] "chez Bertholf" with an original picture of the author with the Bertholfs at their (presumably) dinner table. One of three such copies according to notes on an envelope by Robert Bertholf, then curator at Kent State Library and Duncan's bibliographer and literary executor. An about fine copy; and a unique one at that. The issue of three not listed in Bertholf's very thorough bibliography. One assumes all three were for personal use; they otherwise conform to the regular issue which was stapled, all signed copies including the additional eight "hors commerce" copies (which had a different photograph pasted in) were sewn. See Bertholf A3b. [Provenance: Robert Bertholf.].
