About This Item
London : Enitharmon Press, 1972 [i.e. 1971]. First edition : one of a small number of copies of the first issue, with two sequences of text printed in the wrong order, with the two errors "Immortality" for "Immorality" on p.15, and the publisher's corrections slip pasted to the verso of the front wrapper. A presentation copy, signed by Hugo Manning, and with his five-line inscription explaining that some of these faulty copies were distributed in advance of the corrected and reprinted text [the British Library Catalogue note notwithstanding]. Loosely inserted is a signed single-page 1976 autograph letter from Manning confirming the gift of this "dud" copy of "my essay on Henry Miller" as a "collector's item" given to him by the publisher, Alan Clodd. Demy 8vo (22cm). (32)pp. Original white wrappers, lettered and decorated in brown; a very good copy, with the original envelope (addressed by Manning) in which the book was sent to the recipient. Halliwell 30n - "it is likely that these were very few in number".
