Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 8vo. Covici Friede Inc Publishers, New York. 1933. 432 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. Number 403 of 1381 signed limited copies. Signed by E. E. Cummings on the limitation page. Bound in yellow cloth boards with black titles present to the spine and the fro…nt board. No ownership marks present. Endpapers have light soil present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. While sometimes termed a "novel," it is better described as a novelistic travelogue, the diary of a trip to Russia in the 1930s during the rise of the Stalinist government. Despite some contempt for what he witnesses, Cummings's narrator has an effective, occasionally hilarious way of evoking feelings of accord and understanding. As Ezra Pound wrote, Cummings's Soviet Union is laid "out there pellucidly on the page in all its Slavic unfinishedness, in all of its Dostoievskian slobberyness.Does any man wish to know about Russia? 'EIMI'!" A stylistic tour de force, EIMI is a mélange of styles and tones, the prose containing many abbreviations, grammatical and syntactical shifts, typographical devices, compounds, and word coinages. This is Cummings's invigorating and unique voice at its finest, and EIMI is without question one of his most substantial accomplishments. E-144; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 432 pages.

Add to basketFirst edition. Octavo. 432 pages. The author travels through the USSR, an experience which seems to have set his future politics on a rightward trajectory.One of 1381 numbered copies signed by the author. The unusual limitation, the publishers explain at the colophon, simply reflects the number of orders they had received at the… time of printing. Also at the colophon, S.A. Jacobs, who designed the book, is thanked for his no doubt Herculean efforts in seeing Cummings' tortured syntax and punctuation through the press.Faint creases to last two blanks and rear free endpaper (probably a production fault). Very good indeed. No dustwrapper.

Original yellow cloth, spine and front cover lettered in black. With dust jacket. Housed in a custom tan morocco backed folding case. Cloth very fresh, some minor spotting to endpapers but sound and clean within, an excellent copy, with the jacket unusually well preserved, a few closed tears to edges and some general light foxing.
