Price: US$965.73 + shipping
Description: First edition, signed limited issue, number 147 of 160 copies signed by Cummings on the limitation page. Cummings's play was an important precursor to the Theatre of the Absurd. In the play, "Cummings attempted to include the unconscious thoughts of its two principal characters, Him, a playwright, and Me, his girlfriend. The plunge into the unconscious was represented by a series of vaudeville skits and circus acts, so that Cummings's jokes and verbal nonsense made for a highly entertaining but not very coherent work" (ANB). Octavo. Original half vellum and black paper-covered boards, titles in black to spine, decorations in gilt to front cover. With original glassine. Title printed in red and black. Spine soiled, else binding firm with contents almost entirely unopened, glassine somewhat chipped but still in nice shape; an excellent copy.
