Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Signed by editor Paul Duncan with a doodle and a notation which so far as I can determine, reads 400 wildebeest (in French). Some pun on Truffaut's 400 Blows? Hmmm. Clean inside and out. There is a 2-3" double crease in the upper right portion of the front cover, front french flap and first few pages -- the book's only defects. Will be bubble-wrapped and carefully packed in a sturdy box to ensure safe transit. Signed by Author(s).

About JESS (from Wikipedia): ******Jess Collins, b.1923 d.2004, known today simply as Jess, was an American visual artist. He met Robert Duncan in 1950 and began a relationship with the poet that lasted for 37 years until Duncan's death in 1988. The two men lived and worked for decades from their historic Victorian home in the Mission District, "a wonderland of an old house, filled to the roof with art". Jess's art received international attention with solo exhibitions at the The Museum of Modern Art in New York (1974), the Galleria Odyssia in Rome (1975), the Wadsworth Atheneum[11] (1975), the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts (1977), the Berkeley Art Museum (1980), and The Arts Club of Chicago (1981). In 2019, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art mounted the show "Mythos, Psyche, Eros: Jess and California", which paired paintings and collages: "that privileged the mystical, whimsical, and absurd" by "one of San Francisco's most enigmatic figures.".
