Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Limited Edition of 160 copies. This is Number 91. Signed by both William S. Burroughs and Howard Buchwald. The book has 20 numbered pages, though the text ends on the 21st page which is unnumbered and contains the Limitation information as well as the signatures a little below its last sentence. Two pages forward you will find the verbiage I have quoted below. The book is in excellent condition. You can see the covers in the photos. They are perfectly clean. I believe you would describe the lettering on the spine as gently debossed. The cover edges are in very nice shape, just a tiny bit of superficial rubbing just adjacent to the top and bottom edges of the spine. The four corners also each have a tiny spot of superficial rubbing. The middle and bottom page edges are deckled or rough-cut. They did a very good job. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in terrific condition. I have turned over every page. They are all perfectly clean, not even a speck. The same goes for the inside covers and all of the end papers. There are three (six sides) front blank end papers and there are four (eight sides) rear blank end papers. Again, all perfectly clean. I didn't see any creasing on any the pages, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And there is no writing other than the two aforementioned signatures. From the last page: 'The Soft Machine was published in 1961 by Olympia Press in Paris; in 1967 by Grove Press in New York; and in 1968 by Calder & Boyers in London; among other editions. Each successive edition contained revisions and additional material and in particular the 1968 version contained sections written in the mid-1960's employing the newly-perfected cut-up technique. The Streets Of Chance is a complete story found in the 1968 version and nowhere else. On January 30, 1981, Mr. Burroughs oversaw revisions of the text by James Grauerholz and Steve Miller, and that is this version. The cover and text illustrations were created by Howard Buchwald. Alice Koeth designed and drew the title page. Out of Sorts Foundry produced the Optima type on a Thompson typecaster from Lino-type matrices; it was hand-set. The paper is Frankfurt. Twelfth Night Bindery hand-bound the edition in Buckram, with serigraphy by Springraphics. The project was imagined and produced at Red Ozier's Chelsea workshop by Ken Botnick and Steve Miller.'.

Shop-Beschreibung

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.
