Columbia, SC and Bloomfield, MI: Bruccoli Clark, 1982. quarter leather, patterned paper-covered boards, spine gilt-stamped. 4to. quarter leather, patterned paper-covered boards, spine gilt-stamped. (x), 194 pages. Limited to 221 numbered copies. This is a unnumbered copy, marked "Out of Series" and "Review Copy" on colophon. With a leaf of the author's revised typescript. Appendix with the final manuscript chapter, not in the original novel published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1965. According to the publisher, "The printer spoiled the copies, and I destroyed them. I decided not to start over because by that time Ken (i.e. Russ Macdonald) was unable to sign copies." The book was thus never issued and only a handful of unnumbered review copies exist. Publisher's advertisement laid in. Covers slightly rubbed and scuffed at edges. Gilt stamping on spine faded.
