Small 8vo, pp. 64. Original black stiff paper wrappers, lettered in gilt to front panel. Partly unopened. Contents toned with age, but a fine unread copy. First edition. One of 495 copies. Printed dedication to Ezra Pound. The glue used to secure the wrappers to the text block of this title is usually found wanting, most often on copies Miller roughly opened either to inscribe or to add copyright information to the preliminaries. This copy escaped his -- and anybody's -- clutches, and is consequently spectacularly well preserved.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Paris: Booster Publications, [1938]. Small 8vo. Publisher s wrappers. | The text block starting to part from the spine, though possible to repair nicely. The very fragile and acidy paper with small paper loss to upper edge of first two pages. Though still an attractive copy of this fragile publication. | INSCRIBED by Miller to artist Buffie Johnson to half title, dated 5/7/39. | Buffie Johnson [1912-2006] a painter whose work spanned much of the 20th century and ranged from Surrealism to Abstract Expressionism to larger-than-life hyperrealism. From The New York Times Obituary: A woman of independent means, Ms. Johnson was by all accounts a woman of sociable temperament, and her life was intertwined with those of some of the 20th century s leading artists, writers and performers. Over the years, she befriended, socialized with or otherwise brushed up against a cast of luminaries including Paul and Jane Bowles, Truman Capote, Willem de Kooning, Lawrence Durrell, Greta Garbo, Patricia Highsmith, Gene Krupa, Gypsy Rose Lee, Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, Mark Rothko, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Gore Vidal and Andy Warhol. Buffie Johnson writes about Miller in her Personal Reminiscences of Lawrence Durrell : My principal feeling about Lawrence Durrell, and I am going to speak from the feeling side, is of a personality with an enormous sense of fun, terrific energy and a kind of wildness very evident when he was young. We were the same age, and came to Paris at the same time, Larry from Greece and I from the States. He came especially to see Henry Miller. The little circle that I met him in consisted of Fred Perlès, David Edgar, Henry and Larry. I detested Henry, both the man and his writing. I didn t like his egomaniacal stance or his attitude toward women. I might say he disliked me quite as cordially. I rather liked the side of his personality that developed later after he came to America. I think he lived a more attractive bohemian style in California. He also had a kind of wildness like Larry s. Perhaps that wildness came from Larry. I don t know. But I have never understood Larry s devotion to what I considered such an inferior personality. Devoted he was, however. Apparently Henry had something Larry needed. In thinking about Larry Durrell, I first realized that the characters in the Quartet are very bizarre, very far out, very baroque. Actually it s striking because of the similarities to people I ve met through Larry. He seems to attract and reach out for some of the strangest people I have ever met. They re very much like characters in the Quartet. Inscribed by Author(s).
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Limited Edition. 64 pages. First edition, one of 495 copies issued. This essay on currency is dedicated to Ezra Pound. The copyright statement is handwritten by Miller on the verso of the dedication page: "First published September 1938, Copyright by the author in all countries, including greater and lesser Germany, Japan and Soviet Russia." Fine book with no flaws except the usual uneven page tanning. A beautiful copy!.

First edition. INSCRIBED TO THE PAINTER HILAIRE HILER, "To Hilaire Hiler -- monetary expert. Henry 10/38. Hiler, a fellow expatriate in Paris in the 1920s, tutored Miller in art. (He and Miller, together with William Saroyan, authored a 1945 book on the subject called WHY ABSTRACT?) Page gatherings apparently over-glued at spine and roughly opening (by Miller for the inscription?) causing the spine to fall away when opened and taking a few tiny pieces of the page with it. Hiler has evidently read his copy, perhaps even in the bath, as it is a little rumpled and shows light damp staining to first several leaves. Otherwise very good and a wonderful association regardless of any condition idiosyncrasies.

First Edition. One of 495 copies. Octavo (18.5cm); thick black wrappers, with titles printed in gold on spine and front cover; [8],9-64pp. Inscribed by Miller one month after publication on the first half-title page: "To Huntington Cairns / Money, money, money / with greetings / Henry Miller / Paris 10/38." Faint crease to lower right corner of front wrapper, else a Fine, unopened copy. Offered together with an uncorrected proof copy [New York: Marion Saunders, n.d. but 1937]. Octavo (17.75cm); side-stapled sheets (rectos), bound into printed wrappers; [ii],[6],7-62pp. Inscribed by Miller on the front wrapper, nine months prior to publication: "Proof Copy, uncorrected / For Huntington Cairns / a little memento from the works, Paris / Yours, Henry Miller / 12/31/37." Publisher's imprint crossed-out by Miller on lower front wrapper; reviewer's rubber-stamp (in French) to half-title page; wrappers detached but present, toned and edgeworn, with two stains to front cover; text edges a bit toned; complete; Good to Very Good. A pair of distinguished copies inscribed to Huntington Cairns, a young Baltimore lawyer who in September 1934 was appointed official U.S. Censor by the Secretary of the Treasury. It was Cairns who declared Miller's 1934 novel Tropic of Cancer (and subsequently, Black Spring, Tropic of Capricorn, and The Rosy Crucifixion) obscene based on the laws of the day, despite his admiration for Miller as an author and artist. His decision led to a 25-year correspondence and friendship between censor and author. In Money, Miller offers his "meditations and lucubrations" on the subject - the direct result of receiving a postcard from Ezra Pound, who asked him "if he had ever thought of money, what makes it and how it gets that way. The truth is that until Mr. Pound put the question to me I had never really thought about the subject. Since then, however, I have thought about it night and day" (from the foreword). The proof copy, printed on paperstock a notch above newsprint, is a marvelous survival, not mentioned by the bibliographers or found in the auction record. Shifreen & Jackson A18a.
