About This Item
London: Peter Owen, 1968. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st thus.. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Contains the plays "Him," "Anthropos: or the Future of Art," and "Santa Claus, a Morality," and the ballet "Tom," (based on 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'). Introduction by Firmage. Black cloth w/gilt spine lettering, 170 pages. Gently bumped corners/spine ends, odd little bump (3/8" long by 1/8" wide) on front pastedown (the suspicion here is that in the printing process some little thing got caught betwixt inside cover and pastedown, but hey, for all I know it could be a device planted by the totalitarian Chinese Communists to monitor Theatre of the Absurd readers), tanned edges, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light edgewear, small edge nicks, some smudging to panels. .
