Unbound. Condition: Very Good. First edition. Broadside. Single sheet measuring approximately 5 ½" x 18". Printed on the recto only. Creased from being folded a number of times, bumping to the corners, and a few small nicks along the sides, very good. The only author credited on the piece, other than Bowles, is Amelia Perrier, with her passage dated 1876; Perrier was an Irish novelist but the passage presented here is about Tangier. Bowles' bibliographer, Jeffery Miller, writes that there were around three hundred copies of this broadside printed and describes it as, "A collection of Moroccan proverbs and miscellany collected and translated from Moghrebi into English by Paul Bowles." *OCLC* locates only a single holding and it appears to be equally scarce in the trade.
