Grove Press, 1961. 8vo. 318 pp. Hardcover. First American trade edition, third printing (first published 1934 by Obelisk Press in France). Very good condition. Light wear along textblock fore-edge; very clean boards and pages. Dust jacket is a bit rubbed along spine tips, forecorners; has two small closed tears (4mm or so--see photos).
