About This Item
The Journal of Albion Moonlight by Kenneth Patchen. 1941 self-published first edition, second issue, #118 of 295 copies made, 314 total pages. No DJ, boards in good condition, spine quite sunned but square, some shelf wear to board edges, bookplate on paste down end paper, erased pencil mark on back end paper, book in overall good+ condition. See photos! New Directions first rejected this novel (on account of its pacifism), which is why Patchen self-published it at first. Experimental in form and appearance.
"We never admire a man: we admire our admiration for him."
