First Edition/First State (1 of 1000 copies). This is a very good copy of the true First State of the First Edition (with the name "Lucien Carr" -later removed -on the dedication page). There is some faint staining to the white front cover panel and to the title page, which is SIGNED and dated in ink: "Allen Ginsberg, '74" beneath a drawing by Ginsberg of the sun and a large flower that utilizes the "O" in "Howl" as its corolla. Perhaps the most important volume of American poetry of the twentieth century, signed and uniquely decorated by the author. Seller Inventory # 141379
