| Provenance: | Author's annotation on colophon: [arrow] Yes! The first (+ so far the only) signed copy - Sidney E. Berger.
From dealer's description: "The gilt Japanese titling on the upper cover has been stamped upside down. Sid Berger called us a day or two after we'd catalogued this book and gave us the story. The entire edition was bound with the Japanese text on the cover upside down. When Morris received the book he was, shall we say, disturbed, and sent the entire edition back to Campbell-Logan where the book was stripped of its cloth cover and the error corrected. Berger tells me that only 3 of the edition still have the original binding with the upside down text; his, Henry Morris's, and this copy from the chastened binder."
Binding: Red clamshell case with black morocco label with gilt rule and lettering on spine; Quarter red morocco with black cloth over boards; gilt stamp on cover.
