First American Edition. Presentation copy inscribed to Beckett's British publisher John Calder "John Friendship Sam December 1959". Calder and Beckett were great friends, and Calder was the primary publisher of Beckett's prose in the UK following the triumph of Waiting for Godot in 1955. An important item for any Beckett collection.

Signed first edition. A presentation copy from the poet to Margeurite Littman with the inscription "To Margeurite, Happy Christmas with love and thanks for her party from Stephen. Midnight 25 Dec 1971". Littman was a Hollywood voice coach, a model for Warhol, a bookseller and the inspiration for Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. The book remained in Littman's library until her death and then sold by John Sandoe's Bookshop (where she was a long time customer). What wonderful provenance !
