Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 1st printing. 8vo. Black cloth. xxxiv, 382pp. Illustrated. 'This broad sampling of Gus Blaisdell's writings consists mainly of critical and philosophical essays from the 1970s and 1980s, but extends from the early 1960s, when he was a young writer finding his footing, to 2003, the year he died.
