Prima edizione
Jacket design by Gerald WIlde (illustratore). First Edition. First Edition of Elizabeth Smart's cult classic, a novel / prose poem based on her affair with English poet George Barker, with whom she had four of his fifteen children. The book was highly controversial upon its initial publication: Smart was summarily dismissed from her post at the British Ministry of Defence and her mother successfully banned its publication in Smart's native Canada, even going further to buy up as many copies as she could that made its way across the pond. Given its small print run of 2000 copies (and her mother's Seek and Destroy mission), the first edition remains rare in any condiiton. Very Good, with spots of sunning to edges and perimeters of spine extending to boards, touches of edge wear, prior owner's name to front free end paper.Internally bright and clean. Good only jacket, with full flaps but significant loss to bottom of rear panel and spine, some chipping and creasing to edges of panels. Beautiful illustrated front panel almost entirely lossless despite the edge wear. Hardcover [octavo] in illustrated dust jacket, red cloth with gilt stamped lettering to spine, 54 pp.
