Conn.: James Thrall Soby, (1934). “Second edition,” identical to the
first except for the addition of an extra preliminary leaf, see below.

with all halftone illustrations. Missing one ring of the spiral plastic
binding, light wear, but overall a very attractive copy.
According to 101 Books pp. 80-81, the publisher “attempted to
generate demand where none existed by suggesting the edition
had sold out,” hence the “second edition” statement. The work
has a portrait by Picasso and text by Andre Breton, Paul Elouard,
Rose Selavy & Tristan Tzara. 101 Books pp. 80-81; Roth 80.
