Description: First edition. Wrappers. Second issue with increased price sticker. Every copy of this edition has the statement that it is no. 83 of 200 copies. This statement is meant to be taken tongue-in-cheek, in the spirit of Victorian under-the-table pornographic productions that similarly purported to be limited editions. Good copy, well used, rubbed, few page tips crimped.
