About This Item
USA: Penguin Books, 1985 Exterminator! by William S. Burroughs, inscribed and signed my Mr.
Burroughs.<p>
The copyright dates on the inside of the title page states that Penguin
books first printing was in 1979 and the last printing in this book was 1985. The back of the book states that the design cover was done
by Neil Stuart in 1984 Art selected by Andrew Wylie, =<p>
The book has an inscription on the inside front cover but it is not in English and I do not know what it says.<p>
The book comes with an obituary of Mr. Burroughs, in front of him on the cover are a bunch of roses, also comes with a sheet listing the Casket Bearers, Honorary Casket Bearers, Appreciation, and music selections. The back of the sheet is verses fromUlysses.<p>
The story behind this book/bundle is quite amazing. While this person lived in Brooklyn, the man around the corner from his apartment cheated on his wife and she caught him and they had a big fight that the whole building could hear and anyway a couple of days later she
put all his stuff out on the street, including all his books. He had a nearly complete William S. Burroughs library and it was sitting there so he grabbed them all and took them up to his flat and noticed this particular copy of Exterminator that was inscribed and signed with Mr. Burroughs with obituary and all the paraphernalia to Burroughs funeral, which means the person that owned this book must have been a friend to attend his funeral.
