New York: Grove Press, 1959. First American edition. Copy number 2 of 4 numbered copies marked hors commerce and signed by Beckett. 254 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Quarter cloth gilt and paper covered boards. Fine copy without dust jacket as issued. First American edition. Copy number 2 of 4 numbered copies marked hors commerce and signed by Beckett. 254 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Barney Rosset's Copy. This is copy number 2 of 4 numbered copies, marked hors commerce, and signed by Beckett (presumably Beckett was given copy number 1).
Additionally this copy is signed by Barney Rosset, the founder and owner of Grove Press, and is noted as being from his personal library: "From the library of Barney Rosset - Grove Press. Barney Rosset, Nov. 6, 1991."
The limited edition consisted of 30 specially bound hard cover copies: 26 lettered copies, and four hors commerce copies. It is hard to overstate the importance of Rosset in promoting the publication of important out-of-the-mainstream literature and especially in the careers of Beckett, Kerouac, Burroughs, Ginsberg and many, many more.
A rare book in this state.

Description:
Grove Press Inc. Fair. 1959. Paperback. 0394172167 . 11 oz.; 254 pages; PB aged light shelf wear musty o/w good clean/tight condition. Written in Roussillon during World War Two, while Samuel Beckett was hiding from the Gestapo, "Watt" was first published in 1953. Beckett acknowledged that this comic novel unlike any other 'has its place in the series' - those masterpieces running from "Murphy" to the Trilogy, "Waiting for Godot" and beyond. It shares their sense of a world in crisis, their profound awareness of the paradoxes of being, and their distrust of the rational universe. "Watt" tells the tale of Mr Knott's servant and his attempts to get to know his master. .
