First paperback edition, first (and only) printing. Canadian issue made from the American sheets and covers with the “95c” price on the front panel erased and “Printed in Canada” in a different type on the copyright page where the American issue has “Printed in the United States of America”. Softcover, 17,6 x 10,4 cm., pp. 215. White pictorial wrappers lettered in black and brown, text block edges stained in dark orange.
Unrecorded by APG.
CONDITION: very good.
Published in Fall or early in the Winter 1970, in an unknown number of copies
Woolmer’s and all the other main collections I am aware of lack it.
COLLECTING TOPICS: the only copy of the Canadian issue I have seen. Rare. At the end of August 2024, Peyton Gupton, a clever collector of McCarthy living in Knoxville, informed me that he has found another copy in lovely condition. In his copy the price on the front cover is not erased.
