First edtion. One of only 20 copies printed on Rives Heavy (a French mould made paper), bound in full black Oasis goatskin with blind-stamped initials ("WK") on the front cover, gilt lettering on the spine. Completely fine, in the publisher's paper slipcase (trivial shelfwear). There were 180 regular copies printed on Rivers Light and bound in paper boards. The printer, Kim Merker, later said of these: "Another mistake we made was the in the binding, using a very fragile japanese paper for the side. If you left it in the sun for three minutes the color would fade." (Merker 12). Printed and bound thus, this is a real American fine press highspot and a great edition of Weldon Kees' marvelous poetry.
