Fine in fine dust jacket in near fine slipcase but for " tear at one rear joint 2" below the top edge. Bi-lingual text. The imprint on the book is that of the Stuttgart publisher, Edition Hansjorg Mayer, but the imprint on the dust jacket is that of New Directions, the US publisher. In the US edition, the book also carries the New Directions imprint. The copyright page of this copy notes "Limited edition of 1000 copies" and calls for a signed print to be tipped in. I presume the US copies omit this note.There is no print in this copy and as I understand it, no print in any US copies. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 410 pp
