Edition: First thus (a revised edition.)

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1926 dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - Originally published in 1917 these poems were completely revised for this edition, with some omitted "to make room for new and perhaps better ones." Introduction by Edgar Lee Masters. INSCRIBED on the front endaper "For Harry Lewis, an old book from a new friend." An interesting association copy with the embossed seal of Harry's wife, Marilyn Lewis on the rear endpaper.

In 1950, they opened the first "Hamburger Hamlet" on Sunrise Boulevard to a crowd packed with Harry's actor friends, including Tony Curtis and Sammy Davis, Jr. In addition, Marilyn had a couture clothing line, and dressed such notables as Nancy Reagan, and produced the award winning Showtime film "The Passion of Ayn Rand." 307 pp.

Condition: Near fine in a good only dust jacket (some pages still unopened; several chips to dj - at upper edge of front cover and bottom of spine, loss of about 1 cc at top of spine).
