About this Item

First edition thus, one of 275 copies signed by the author, printed by Robert Grabhorn and Andrew Hoyem on handmade paper from Goudy Modern type, with an illustrated cloth binding after a drawing by Robert La Vigne. Ginsberg's masterpiece was first published by City Lights in 1956 in a much-reproduced wrappers format, but this is the first fine press edition. This edition also adds the related poetic fragment "The Names", an "extended eulogy" for the persons immortalized in Howl. Morgan notes that although the colophon states that 275 copies were produced, "several copies were misbound and about 20 sets of sheets were not bound due to a lack of adequate covers". Morgan A21.a1. Quarto. Original greyish-brown cloth illustrated in colour after a drawing by Robert La Vigne, grey endpapers, edges untrimmed. A fine copy.
