Notes: The colophon states there were three editions: the standard edition, known as the 'Cork edition' of 1399 copies; the signed edition of 99 copies, known as the 'Signed Edition', the inscription edition of 26 lettered copies, signed and hand-lettered from A - Z. As it transpired there were at least seven editions consisting of the: The Crimson Oasis limited issue: 26 lettered copies signed, quarter leather binding; the Blue Oasis limited issue: 99 copies signed, quarter leather binding; the Cork issue: 1399 copies; the Orange Oasis limited issue: 3 copies; the Black Oasis limited issue: 11 copies lettered using letters to spell HENRY MILLER, quarter leather binding, bound in postcard from Miller to Jon Webb; the Green Oasis limited issue: 11 copies lettered using letters to spell HENRY MILLER, quarter leather binding; and this edition, the A - Z Cork Edition signed and dated by the author. This was the last edition issued, based on the ordinary prize winning Cork Edition. Though the book took them over a year to complete, once completed, it received top awards from the New York Type Directors Club for typography, design, and use of colour. In all, Loujon Press published three issues of the magazine The Outsider, and two books each by Charles Bukowski and Henry Miller. These publications received at least as much praise for their quality as physical artefacts as they did for the poems and prose that made up their editorial matter. It seems like a small catalogue, but the remarkable artistry, craftsmanship, and pioneering spirit have earned the press a much larger place in history. As art writer Nathan Martin commented, "Loujon operated during a particular moment in the history of artistic publishing in America ? and remains a distinctive and compelling entity at the intersection of fine-press publishing, counterculture literature, and the French Quarter from which it emerged.".
