First edition.
Translated by Thomas Taylor, edited and introduced by Esme Wynne-Tyson.
Publisher's cloth over boards.
A very good ex-library copy inscribed to American novelist and critic Edward Dahlberg by Texas librarian and scholar Harold Billings: "Withdrawn from The University of Texas Library with great love for a man who needs it more my dear friend, Edward, with much love, Harold, Aug.
29, '68".
With Dahlberg's name and address written in pencil on the front free endpaper, and his pencil annotations throughout the text.
Billings published *A Bibliography of Edward Dahlberg* in 1971.
A nice association.
