Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Good+. Reginald Pollack (illustrator). First Edition. Drawings; Oblong 8vo 8" to 9" tall; [SIGNED] 1968 Gemini Press : Viking Press. Oblong format HC/DJ. First edition stated. Inscribed âFor Peace â" alwaysâ in pencil and dated 1973 on the half-title by illustrator Reg Pollack to Washington artist Joseph Eanet and his wife Alma, a longtime Washington-area soprano. Soundly bound and clean in publisher's black cloth lettered in white to spine. Graphic pictorial dust jacket retains the $5.00 issue price to the front flap but is considerably worn at edges. Rubbing and a few short tears to the top edge of the front panel, with a larger number of longer closed tears to edges at rear. Prior owner's extensive old tape mends to the tears, largely placed on the blank verso. A darkly satirical Vietnam-era alphabet, using the familiar children's ABC-book format to catalogue the threats, absurdities and anxieties of contemporary American life. Writer Merrill Pollack and his twin brother Reginald were both WWII combat veterans, lending particular weight to the book's antiwar perspective. Reginald Pollack went on to a substantial career as a painter, printmaker and sculptor, exhibiting widely with work entering numerous major museum collections. Each opening presents a set of three words at verso facing a generally quite disturbing rendering by Reg Pollack at recto. VG+/G++; Signed by Author. Seller Inventory # 61218
