    Condition: Fine. First edition. One of 26 copies of this "Poetry Card" signed for the occasion of a reading at the Unicorn Bookshop on April 22, 1967. "This is copy P, Lew Welch," reads his inscription on the rear/colophon. 450 total copies were produced. Stiff goldenrod, textured paper, a single sheet folded once to make a card. The interior presents his poem "The Perfect Con." With what is likely the original unmarked envelope. Scarce--only one other unsigned copy of "The Perfect Con" is currently available. A fine copy.
