New York, Grove Press, 1961. . First American edition, number 91 of 100 specially bound hors commerce copies signed by the author; 8vo (204 x 132 mm.); internally fine, free of ownership markings or similar; publisher's cloth-backed marbled boards, lettered in gilt to spine, minor rubbing to corners but overall a superior example.
A fine copy of the rare, specially bound, first American edition of Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller, one of 100 copies signed by the author on the limitation page.
Originally published in Paris by the Obelisk Press in 1934, Tropic of Cancer was immediately banned in America and shortly after in Britain and Canada for its candid sexuality which offended many. Upon its American publication in 1961 with this edition by the Grove Press, the work was tested via numerous obscenity trials in over twenty-one States, the majority holding that the work was not obscene, though notable dissenting voices included Pennsylvanian Supreme Court Justice Musmanno, who stated that Tropic of Cancer is 'not a book. It is a cesspool, an open sewer, a pit of putrefaction, a slimy gathering of all that is rotten in the debris of human depravity'.
