WORLD OF SEX WITH EXTENSIVE MS. REVISIONS BY MILLER
109. miller, henry. The World of Sex. 88 pp. Dummy cloth. 1 of 1000 copies. Second Edition.
No place: Printed by J.H.N. for Friends of Henry Miller, [1946]
Miller’s working proof copy for the revised (3rd) edition planned to be published by Olympia
Press in 1957, this second edition is heavily edited, corrected and changed, with all changes
holographed in Miller’s hand (blue ink) - Miller has lengthy changes to almost every line of the
book, including the first, and even corrects his own corrections with crossouts and add-ons,
making this copy unique and fascinating as a work-in-progress; Miller has basically created an
entirely new text here. Pages detached and many loose in binding, else very good.
