Description:
88 pp. Dummy cloth. 1 of 1000 copies. Second Edition.
Miller's working proof copy for the revised (3rd) edition planned to be published by Olympia Press in 1957, this second edition is heavily edited, corrected and changed, with all changes holographed in Miller's hand (blue ink) - Miller has lengthy changes to almost every line of the book, including the first, and even corrects his own corrections with crossouts and add-ons, making this copy unique and fascinating as a work-in-progress; Miller has basically created an entirely new text here.
Condition:
Pages detached and many loose in binding, else very good.
