Salt Lake City, Utah: Gibbs Smith, Publisher. Very Good. 1998. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover in dust jacket. This book is hard-bound in gray covers with blind-stamping to the upper cover and spine, in a dust jacket with light edge-wear. The covers show light edge-wear and light rubbing to the corners and spine-ends. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean with black & white illustrations throughout. This book is signed by both the author Christopher Felver and the subject of the book Lawrence Ferlinghetti on the half title-page. Laid-in at the front is a postcard with an image of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, which is signed by Ferlinghetti on the verso. - From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. ; Signed by Author .
