About This Item
San Francisco: City Lights Books, 1961. Very Good. San Francisco: City Lights Books, 1961. Apparent (per Dowden) intermediary between the Fifth and Sixth Printings, with black inside covers (instead of the usual white), seven-line publisher's statement on back, and no printer's statement. 16mo (6.25" x 4.75") 100pp. Printed black and white wraps with $1.50 price on back. Covers rubbed along edges, with dampstain at bottom half of spine extending at deepest a half-inch onto front and back covers, but not involving interior. Front cover opens to edge of spine, with some distress along glueline. Vertical crease to spine, with binding opening easily to pp. 56-57 and exposing stitching, though pages still holding soundly. Pages a bit toned along edges but unmarked.
George Dowden writes of this printing in his Ginsberg bibliography "...there is one ed. which was printed in the United States, apparently between the Villers and Edwards Brothers eds., the printer of which has not been determined (publisher's records incomplete), an ed. which contains no information as to the edition, or printing, any where in it, which has black inside front and back covers unlike the white of any other eds., and which does not have the A.G. statement on the outside back cover, but, rather, a publisher's statement which is shorter and different than the publisher's statements on the first, British-printed, ed." Not mentioned in Morgan. Rather uncommon (or at least commonly unnoticed).
[Dowden p. 8; not in Morgan].
