Author: Paul Jordan Smith

Publisher: Privately printed for subscribers only by Brentano's of London

Edition: Limited edition of 750 copies

Date Printed: 1923

Description: The limited edition of 750 copies privately printed for subscribers, which preceded the first trade edition. Original hardback in original dustwrapper. 369 pages. The dustwrapper is in attractive condition, with some wear to the extremities, and some unobtrusive tape reinforcement to the inside surface (see pictures).  The book itself is in excellent condition, with bright titles and just the slightest of bumping to the spine ends (see pictures). Internally clean and free of inscriptions. . Binding sound and square. A very pleasing example of this notoriously hard-to-find book.

Paul Jordan Smith (1885-1971) was an American writer and literary editor who interviewed most of the great literary figures of the twentieth century. He is perhaps best remembered as the perpetrator of the hoax art movement Disumbrationism, for which he wrote a manifesto and successfully exhibited several clumsily-painted canvases under the name Pavel Jerdanowitch, to critical acclaim.
