Description: First edition, variant issue with correct spelling of Malcolm Cowley's name on the spine; also issued with incorrect spelling of Cowley's name as "Malcom" on spine, priority undetermined. Introduction by Malcolm Cowley. Spine lettering is worn away, else very good lacking the dust jacket. Inscribed, humorously by Cowley on the front flyleaf in the year of publication to author Hamilton Basso and his wife Etolia: "For Ham + Toto, April, 1951, Malcolm- Scott Fitz- Cowley". An early inscription, the book was published on March 16, 1951. One page of text has a neat ink note in margin, and blank rear flyleaf has a neat pencil note presumably in hand of Basso or his wife. When Hamilton Basso died, in 1964, Malcolm Cowley delivered the eulogy at Emanuel Episcopal Church in Weston, Connecticut.
