Paris: Booster Publications, (1938). First edition. INSCRIBED TO THE PAINTER HILAIRE HILER, "To Hilaire Hiler -- monetary expert. Henry 10/38. Hiler, a fellow expatriate in Paris in the 1920s, tutored Miller in art, and he and Miller (together with William Saroyan) later authored a 1945 book on the subject called WHY ABSTRACT? Page gatherings apparently over-glued at spine and roughly opening (by Miller for the inscription?) causing the cover to fall from the text block, taking a few tiny pieces of the first leaf with it; and Hiler has perhaps read his copy at bath as it's a little rumpled and shows light damp staining to first several leaves.

His decision led to a 25-year correspondence and friendship between censor and author. In Money, Miller offers his "meditations and lucubrations" on the subject - the direct result of receiving a postcard from Ezra Pound, who asked him "if he had ever thought of money, what makes it and how it gets that way. The truth is that until Mr. Pound put the question to me I had never really thought about the subject. Since then, however, I have thought about it night and day" (from the foreword).
