Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The first monthly review from the infamous publisher of erotica and avant-garde literature. Printed in December of 1961, it notably features scenes from William Burroughs' The Soft Machine, published earlier that year, and so offers glimpses of the novel in its original form that Burroughs so detested and would revise heavily for the 1966 second edition. With contributions from J.P. Donleavy, Henry Crannach, Lawrence Durrell, Ann Federman, Robert Doisneau, Maxwell Kenton, Richard McBride, Harriet Daimler, and Terry Southern. This copy from the collection of a tobacco smoker, with traces of tanning to spine and covers, and a very faint aroma of smoke within. Binding sound if a tad free to open at inside cover, pages crisp and unmarked. Moderate rubbing to covers, else fairly minimal shelfwear. Very good+. Seller is also offering examples of the second and fourth issues of this Journal.
