Laid in is a note on Scorpion Press letterhead describing the De Luxe Specifications : "The de luxe presentation copies are produced in small numbers as they are intended primarily for the use of the author, contributor, editor, publisher and others associated with the authors work. These books are given a letter rather than a number and are especially handsome, bound in goatskin rather than bonded leather with five raised bands. The spine blocking is horizontal because of the raised bands. In addition these books contain the signature of the contributor. Prices vary slightly due to the costs involved, the difficulty of obtaining the signatures and overall desirability of the volumes.". Signed by Author. First Edition. Quarter-Goatskin. Fine/Fine.
