Tropic of Capricorn

MILLER, Henry

MILLER, Henry Tropic of Capricorn

The Obelisk Press, 1939.

First edition, first issue with '60 frs' to the spine and the yellow errata slip tipped in as issued. Original printed wrappers, lettered in black with two vignettes in white,housed within the original glassine wrapper. Apparently a variant issue, the paper wrappers not having fold-over flaps. An excellent, fine copy, the wrappers bright and crisp without the habitual discolouration to the spine. The glassine is worn, with some closed tears and a small chip to the spine.

The prequel to Miller's first published novel, The Tropic Of Cancer.
"Originally scheduled for publication in February but delayed for three months, as a result of which few copies were sold before the beginning of the war, the death of Kahane and the shutting down of the Obelisk Press. On these copies the original printed price on the spine... has not been inked out" (Pearson).

Pearson A60.
