About This Item
Weslayan CT: Wesleyan University Press, 1967. 1st Edition. Hardcover. As New/Fine. A nice pairing of the first edition and its "miniature preview edition" of 500 copies, both published by Wesleyan University Press in 1967. The trade edition is in as new condition, signed by Dickey on the free front endpaper. The miniature edition, also as new, is housed in a quarter-leather clamshell box, roughly 5.5" x 8.25' with framed inset to fit the small book, which itself measures roughly 2" x 3". The light green leather of the box is slightly faded, else fine. The box is unsigned, but likely crafted by Arno Werner who was often commissioned for custom bindings like the one here by the collector from whose collection these items come.
