[MILLER, HENRY.] What are you going to do about Alf? An open letter to all and sundry.
[Paris, privately printed, 1935]. First edition of Miller's rare second book, financed by friends and printed in September, 1935; no copies were for sale; 18mo, 19pp., original printed wrappers; a fine copy in the original mailing envelope addressed in Miller's hand but which is badly waterstained. Signed at the end of the text (as usual) and dated by Miller, this copy with an additional inscription on the front flyleaf reading: "Send no monies! "Alf" is sitting on easy street. A re-print, with a Preface, will be out shortly -- 25 cents a copy. H.M." Financed by friends and printed by Lecram-Servant, the same printer who did Tropic of Cancer, this little book was an open appeal for money to send Alfred Perles to Ibiza in the Balearic Islands so he could write without disturbance. The second edition to which Miller refers in his inscription was published in June, 1938, and contained a two- page foreword by Miller.
