Freedman A17.1 This is the first printing of about 1500 copies printed at Kingsport via letterpress printing. Mr. Berry has told me that he believes that fewer than 50 copies were signed by both he and Gene Meatyard. Evidently they did only a couple of book signings and of course, neither he nor Gene Meatyard were as famous as they are today.
