Rusty paperclip stain on FFEP (see below), otherwise book is fine. Dust jacket a little rubbed; very lightly wrinkled along the edges. This item was purchased from the estate of Henry Miller and, tho unsigned by him, it bears his ownership markings: a laid-in slip of paper with his handwritten astrological notes (and a rusty paperclip stain), further astrological notes (and the date, Dec. '66) handwritten on the front panel of the dust jacket. The dust jacket design is a horoscope drawn by Conrad Moricand, the French astrologer who was the subject of HM's study, "The Devil in Paradise." SOLD WITH four other related volumes, all from Miller's library, tho not marked as such. Two are by Omarr, including "My World of Astrology" (which contains a chapter on Miller) and "Astrology: Off the Top" (both paperbacks). Also, "Capricorn" (Miller's sign), paperback, Viking Press; and "The Japanese Fortune Calendar," Charles Tuttle, 1970, a pretty little volume in cloth-covered boards. (Inventory #: D14193)
