About this Item
Octavo, 137pp. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, in the publisher's yellow cloth, gently cocked, and a touch dust-soiled on the top edge. In a near fine dust jacket, perhaps a trifle toned. A pleasing association copy, SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Duncan on the title page to his friends Ham and Mary (Tyler): "For Ham & Mary, Robert Duncan." Duncan has drawn a large (and notably bent) bow, which takes up most of the page, to accompany his inscription. Ham (Hamilton) and Mary Tyler were good friends of Duncan's, and part of the social circle shared with Pauline Kael and others in northern California in the 1940s and beyond. They Tylers lived with Duncan on one of the communes that he called home during the 1940s. Unlike his chapbooks and private press publications of this period, which were usually signed, we have seen very few signed or inscribed copies of this regular trade publication. Very attractive thus. Seller Inventory # 12464
