Two copies of this book both containing illuminated poems in front of the table of contents Page next to the acknowledgement page, both hand written by Eshleman. One copy is #34/35 Signed, the Second copy is labeled Authors Copy and therefore not signed personally by Eshleman but includes his amazing hand drawn illuminated poem.

Condition. Selling 'as is' as a lot due to size . Very Good Plus/Like New Minus or better. All books show light handling wear and edge. Very minor tanning and fading to edges. Insides are clean and relatively unmarked. The acetate jackets are chipped on a few of the spines as seen in photos. Indiana has a few pages that are a little crooked near the sides and base.

Please see photos for complete condition.
