Author: Miller, Henry [1891 - 1980]
Title: The WORLD Of SEX
Description: [Chicago]: Printed by the Friends of J. H. N. for Friends of Henry Miller [Ben Abramson], 1941. 1st edition (Shifreen & Jackson A25a). Stated limitation of 250 cc. Original publisher's black cloth binding with gilt stamped lettering. Red, gold & black mottled paper dust jacket with black printing. 88, [4 (blank)] pp. 8vo. 9-1/4" x 6-1/4". VG/VG (spine sunned, with 1 cm chip from each end). Shifreen & Jackson question the limitation, citing the print run needed for profitability, and frequency on the market, though they do speculate that the 3 states of the first [ours given priority] may each have had a run of 250 cc. Shifreen & Jackson also debunk the notion this book printed by John Henry Nash, citing Miller correspondence noting otherwise. This first state binding increasingly uncommon, especially in the original jacket.
