First edition, number 359 of a limited edition of 1,000 copies signed by Hirst, Sabbag, and Marks on the title page. Damien Hirst was responsible for the design of this stylish edition of Sabbag's account of the career of cocaine smuggler Zachary Swan, first published in 1976. Details such as the metallic bookmark designed to mi…mic an American Express card, with account name Zachary Swan, add novelty. Inside the book, a hidden die-cut well hides a rolled up $100 bill, a nod to Swan's smuggling of cocaine. The final three digits of the notes, specially secured from the US Treasury, correspond to the number of the edition. Notorious cannabis smuggler Howard Marks writes the introduction, drawing on his own experience in the trade. Octavo. With metal bookmark designed to look like an American Express credit card and a rolled-up $100 bill which fits into a die cut well in the centre of the book. Original glass mirror boards with silver spine, spine lettered in blind, illustrated endpapers, silver foiled edges. With original illustrated slipcase. A fine copy in fine slipcase.
