Second edition, library issue, one of 200 copies thus of a total run of 260. 25 x 18cm, original grey wrappers, as well as 9 loose sheets in a raspberry-coloured cloth fold-over case. Paris, Aylscamps Press. 1993

A fine copy of this facsimile reproduction of Henry Miller's early broadsides, which his second wife, June Mansfield, sold door to door in Brooklyn in the mid to late 1920s. It is unclear how many Miller produced. One biographer thinks there were "about 15" and another describes 16, while Miller himself suggested that he wrote 35. Here are collected all those the publisher was able to locate, numbering eight in total: ...Dawn Travellers...; A Bowery Phoenix; The Awakening; If You're Dying, Choose a Mausoleum; Circe; Make Beer for Man; Dance Hall; and Christianity at the Sink.

This copy includes a short typed note with a manuscript addition signed "Henry" by the author, on his Pacific Palisades headed paper.
