Description:

2 volumes. Edited with an Introduction by Mark Robison. (12mo) pictorial wrappers. First Editions, 2 different states. Comprises:

• Saddle-stitched pictorial wrappers, with no text on cover. Inscribed by Ginsberg on the title page: "Endless typos in here - Allen Ginsberg, 1982. " "Proof State," [1971].
• Perfect bound pictorial wrappers, text on cover. Signed by Ginsberg on the title page, dated "10/14/89." Additionally inscribed on the title page by editor Mark Robison, in the year of publication. First Printing.

Includes an inscribed copy of the rare "Proof State," which was aborted during the printing process due to numerous errors in the text. It is unknown how many copies of the Proof State exist, since most were destroyed. It is generally thought that fewer than 100 copies survived, some sources suggest only a handful.

Proof copy very good or better, with some soiling and faint staining to rear wrapper; other printing very good with some wear and rubbing to wrappers, text block starting to separate a bit from wrappers.
