Association first printing of this early Markson title, inscribed by the novelist to fellow writer Normal Mailer and Beverly [Bentley] Mailer.

Mailer and Markson ran in the same circles among the Lion's Den crowd, and even slept with some of the same people (Alice Denham). An unusual association. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original black cloth. In original unclipped ($5.95) black typographic dust jacket. [10], 278 pages. Inscribed by Markson in the year of publication: "March 1970 / For Norman & Beverly Mailer / With all good wishes / David Markson." Jacket a scuff to rear panel, shallow chipping at spine head. Book with slight sunning to edges. Else clean and sound.
