Condition: Very good. First printing of Saroyan's minimalist conceptual novel, with the author's hand-drawn smiley face and inscription from the year of publication. Dedicated to Chuck Berry, Saroyan's CLOTH features just one word per page printed verso only. And while ostensibly described as a novel, is a clear extension of his other minimal poetics of the period. Uncommon signed. 5'' x 6.25''. Original black printed wrappers. Unpaginated. Pen inscription and drawing by Saroyan on title page, dated 8/18/71. Moderate edgewear, scuffing and small tears to spine ends. Light foxing and soil to rear cover and edges of text block.
