About this Item

8vo. Red cloth. Unpaginated (96pp.). A striking collaboration of text and image, but one whose (handsome) design led to a disagreement between Williams and the publisher. Asa Benveniste had already bound 120 copies, but due to the disagreement he decided not to publish the book. (The 40 special copies mentioned in the book never materialised.) Some copies have a slip with this information, adding that the bound copies were being distributed to friends of the press. However, not all copies were distributed. This copy does not have the slip (which is not integral to the book), and was indeed not distributed at all. Phillips, incidentally, is said to have liked the book, whereas Williams is thought not to have been given a copy. Seller Inventory # 002023
