Bolinas, California: Grey Fox Press, 1980. First printing (NAP). Softcover. Good. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. 5H. ***Volume Two only.*** This title was later re-issued, but this copy is the first printing of the original edition. A solid copy with tight binding but rated "Good only" because there are ***a few lines highlighted*** on one page, there is considerable cover wear, and covers are irregularly sun-faded (see photo). Pages mildly toned.

Grey Fox Press, 1973. First edition, first printing. From the library of Cid Corman, poet and Origin editor, with his fully signed book plate to open flyleaf. Corman and Welch were contemporaries and friends. Near fine perfect bound red wraps. The original from the Grey Fox Press. Cid Corman was often sent books from the U.S. to his home in Kyoto, Japan, from various poet friends. Cid would affix his own bookplate over the former signature or put his sgned bookplate alongside, it all depended. With light age tone to the fore edge, a handsome copy. A seminal copy by Lew Welch who disappeared in the Sierra Nevada in the early 1970s. Cid occasionally made marginalia or fleck marks with a pen somewhere in the text referencing what appealed to him (or not).
