One signature is detached (title page to page 22) but all content is present. Interior is clean. Overall good condition. Identified as second issue by seven line statement and price of $1.50 on rear wrapper as well as the lack of an imprint for Villiers on page 100.This poetry collection by counterculture icon and Beat Generation poet Allen Ginsberg was number 14 in City Lights' famed Pocket Poets Series.
