About This Item
New York: Boni and Liveright, 1924. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/good. 237 pp, with olding facsimile newspaper. Original black cloth with red paper labels on spine and front board. Corners bumped, a few light scuff marks. Old repairs evident at hinges, but binding quite sound. Offsetting from facsimile, text otherwise clean. Dust jacket missing large chips near head and foot of spine. Original $2.00 price present. In mylar. An experimental, but successful satirical play that explores the tension between holding firm to one's artistic instincts and making compromises for commercial gain.
