Description: First edition, limited and signed issue. Foreword by Harry Belafonte. Introduction by James Porter. Commentary by Benjamin Horowitz. Small quarto. 121pp. 95 black and white illustrations. Quarter black cloth gilt and light brown paper-covered boards with small cameo onlay of a Charles White drawing. Small bookplate of the printer Ward Ritchie on the front pastedown, slight foxing on the foredge, else a fine copy lacking the publisher's slipcase. An elusive title in the limited, signed issue (also published in the same year in a trade issue). This copy is designated in ink as the "Printer's Copy" and is Signed by White. The publisher's printed colophon states that the first 125 copies (of a total edition of 250) were meant to contain an original lithograph, but apparently no copies were issued with the lithograph. Rare in this issue, *OCLC* lists many holdings for the 1967 trade issue of this publication, but only a single citation for the signed issue.
