A few spots of light, scattered foxing on front and rear flyleaves, else a fine, bright copy. First separate edition (edition of 22), this one "special copy in Tuscany" so designated by Prokosch, and signed by him in red ink beneath. With a small watercolor frontispiece drawing signed beneath in pencil, Frederic Prokosch. [8] pages. 1 vols. 16mo. Frederic Prokosch (1908-1989) was a cosmopolitan American novelist, whose first novel The Asiatics was published to great acclaim in 1935. Prokosch, educated at Haverford and Yale, produced a series of "Butterfly Books" hand bound in brightly colored papers, including his own writings and the works of modernist poets such as Auden and T. S. Eliot. William Butler Yeats won the 1923 Nobel Prize for Literature. Wade states: "Mr. Prokosch tells me that at the moment the printing was finished he was called to America on his father's death and went leaving all his books and papers behind him. In 1948 he returned to Florence and discovered the copies of the booklet still intact". The colophon indicates: "Of this poem twenty-two copies were printed for the author: five copies bound in Sicily paper, numbered 1-5; five bound in Sardinia, numbered I-V; five bound in Abruzzo, numbered a-e; five bound in Umbria, numbered A-E; and two bound in Marche, numbered x and XX. This is number". This copy is unnumbered and bears Prokosch's ink holograph, "special copy in Tuscany", signed by him. It is his own copy with his heraldic lion bookplate. Wade 185 (dated to 1935); Barker, Butterfly Books 48 ("special copy")

Other than a previous owner name stamped on the endpaper, a clean and bright copy of this Neale publication. Krick notes that Royall “dedicated this slender volume ‘to the Banks and Bankers of the United States, who, if left alone, could supply the country with an abundance of Sound Currency.’” Royall makes it clear that the government is too deeply involved in the control of banking. A debate which is topical. (Krick, 429). Near Fine binding.

Description
Stated first American edition with a number line ending in 2 (apparently the first printing); A near fine book in a very good dust jacket. This volume is clean and bright with minor shelf wear to the spine ends and edges housed in a very good dust jacket that shows mild rubbing to the edges, corners, and ends, and an overall foxing to the jacket. A handsome copy that is not price clipped, not remaindered, and not ex-lib; protected in a fresh mylar cover.Maxim Arturovitch Pyatnitski, a student at St. Petersburg, discovers the pleasures of sex and cocaine and glimpses a sophisticated world beyond his horizons before the storm of the October revolution breaks, from which he is deflected into more immediate concerns, caught up in the rip-tide of history.
