PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE INTERIORS OF DICTATORS' HOUSES

Albert Goldbarth

Gambier, OH: Kenyon Review, 2011
1st edition, limited (1/25) lettered, signed, with special star insignia.

The first printing of this poem, designed by Joumana Khatib as the letterpress edition. Printed on Firenze paper at the Igloo Press, using Arno Pro and Steelfish fonts. As the colophon states, an edition of 150 copies were planned. However, due to production difficulties, only approximately one third of that number survived. The lettered copies were reserved exclusively for the author, of which only a few received the special star insignia with the author's signature in gold or silver. This offering is among the most scarce of any Goldbarth printing to date. Printed on recto and verso with double fold flaps.

Fine, 'as new' condition.
