The collector has retained the original announcement for the first edition, with the subscription / order form missing at bottom, in an envelope postmarked Jan. 1963. Another envelope contains a reply from Lupoff to a previous letter, apologizing for having missed our collector's order and promising to make it up with a copy of the second printing, as well as a copy of a reply from our collector back answering a couple of Lupoff's questions. Lupoff refers to the mistake in his inscription. Additional Lupoff-signed bookplate added by a later collector. …
