Scarce edition produced by the enterprising but flawed businessman John B. Alden who skipped the middleman and sold books directly to customers from his New York shop, repeatedly going bankrupt due to his expenses exceeding his sales. Brown textured 8vo with gold lettering to cover and spine, light chipping to crown, foot and points; minor spotting. Stitches coming a bit loose affecting pages 96-97. Endpapers & some pages show light foxing. Early owner's name and date [of acquisition?] to blank page up front, looks like a pencil used. A very few pencil markings & notes within text by the book's last owner whose rubber stamp appears, upside down on the ffep. This book belonged to late great Jill Johnston (1929-2010) cultural, literary and dance critic, memoirist, radical lesbian feminist and champion of the avant-garde. The stamp reads: "Write first. then live." J.J.

Shipping terms
We use the trusty old -- ahem -- USPS for domestic shipments unless otherwise requested and charge the current rate plus $1 for handling. We're in a very small town but if you request a different shipping method we'll try to honor that. Overseas Priority flat-rate envelopes begin at US$40.70 (with $4 handling charge included), medium flat-rate boxes are US$75.75 (with $4 handling charge included). All quoted shipping costs are based on a 4-pound package. The costs quoted for international shipping and handling should certainly be considered good-faith estimates ONLY. International shipments will be sent at the most cost-effective method possible. If the actual cost is reduced, we will not notify you. If it needs to be increased, we will contact you through ABEbooks and request an increase to cover our costs, which include postage materials and time. WE DO NOT MAKE MONEY ON SHIPPING!
