One of only 50 copies (of which only a few have survived) with frontispiece etching signed by Sturges. Presentation copy, with Sturges's engraved card inscribed to Solomon Sturges, laid in.Bruns recounts how the author picked up the edition of 50 copies from the printer, leaving them on the kitchen table when he got home. That night the house burned down, with Sturges managing to rescue either four or five copies. Bruns, writing in 1975, was able to account for four copies, and possible a fifth.
