Rare(r) Books & 1st Editions
At Terror Street and Agony Way - Black Sparrow Press, 1968, First Edition, 1/747, paper. Some sunning to the spine and slight bumps at yapped edges. The inside is stunningly perfect. This is one of the nicest copies that I have seen. $300
Poems Written Before jumping Out Of An 8 Story Window - poetry Xchange 1968, First Edition, 1/400. Perfect condition, except.... The text block was stapled, but the cover never attached.
