Description:
First published in 1990, this edition is a hand sewn trade paperback.
Originally a first printing, several hundred copies were mistakenly
bound in the wrong order. Recently discovered in a box in Chax
Press's former studio, these copies have been painstakenly unbound,correctly
paginated, and hand-sewn with Irish linen thread, making an edition
which is an improvement on the original paperback edition, at
the same price
