New York: Library Fellows of the Whitney Museum of American Art, 1989. Minor chipping to gold clasps, else fine.. Limited Edition. Folio. One of 140 copies. Volume 7 in the Whitney Artists and Writers Series; SIGNED by both Oates and Gober to colophon. Two volumes of text from Joyce Carol Oates, reproduced in facsimile manuscript by Robert Gober, who also supplies illustrated lithographic endpapers. Bound in white leather, with diary-style gilt clasps, enclosed in publisher's lavender silk box; it was Gober's idea to place the two volumes side-by-side, referencing the identical twins in Oates' short story.
