Add to basketFirst edition. Tall octavo. [8]pp. Stitched printed blue wrappers. Very slight age-toning at the edges of the wrappers, still easily fine. Bowles' first separate publication, a collection of two short poems, *Watervariation* and *Message.* According to Jeffrey Miller's, *Paul Bowles: A Descriptive Bibliography*: "Circa 175 copies were published in late 1933." *OCLC* locates a surprising 18 copies, but beyond that we can't imagine many copies of this delicate little publication survive. A lovely copy of a modern rarity. We've only seen a couple of copies in nearly 40 years. Housed in a custom folding chemise. *Miller* A1.
