Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller

Tropic of Cancer

Henry Miller
Anaïs Nin, preface

Obelisk Press, 1939

Softcover. Condition: Good.  Fifth printing. Printed self-wrappers. Pages browned, slight  tear on the front and on the spine. Interior has an uncut half-title, a couple of pages have small tears. The binding is sound. No restoration. Miller's best known work, an acknowledged classic detailing with then-unprecedented sexual candor his expatriate experience in Paris. It was banned for decades in the United States. The first edition consisted of 1000 copies, the next four printings were 500 copies each, so this is one of the first 3000 copies. Because of the fragile binding, early editions are usually found in poor condition. Fairly scarce.
