by Elliott, George P.
Iowa City: Stone Wall Press, 1961. Edition limited to 220 numbered copies (this, a Reviewer's Proof); narrow 8vo, pp. 34, [4]; text printed in red and black; near fine in original gray wrappers with a printed paper label on the front wrapper giving details on price, edition size, types used, and binding. From the library of Kim Merker. Berger, Printing and the Mind of Merker, 10: "220 numbered copies (and a few unnumbered copies) ... Fever & Chills is a longish poem about an adulterous relationship. It's by George P. Elliott, the novelist, and I looked at him almost as a father figure. He was kind and moral and honest. I felt his work never got the respect it deserved ... This was the first book I did totally by myself."
