SIX PROSE PIECES

Book Description

[Madison, WI]: The Perishable Press Limited, 1966.. Small quarto. Pale green cloth, upper board lettered in gilt in facsimile of the author's signature. Very modest darkening along edges, otherwise about fine. First edition, bound issue. One of seventy copies (fifty for sale) printed by Hamady in residence at the Rob Run Press in Goudy Old- style type on grey-blue paper handmade by the printer from linen and cotton rags. Illustrated with a wood-engraving cut by Hamady after a drawing by Duncan. This copy bears Duncan's presentation inscription within a pencil drawing of a tree: "for Helen and Pat [Adam?] April 1966 Robert Duncan," and may be one of the ten copies reserved for the author. In all probability, an excellent association copy of one of Duncan's most uncommon titles, and an early imprint of the press. HAMADY 6. BERTHOLF A21a.
