The Cosmological Eye

$18.00 — Sold out

Miller, Henry. New Directions, 1939 (4th Printing). Softbound. The first of Miller’s books published in the United States, most of this wide-ranging collection of prose was written around the same as Tropic of Capricorn and has a cover that helped set the tone for the iconic ND look: titling pushed to the margins and innovative B&W photo-collage, this one featuring the cloud-borne eye of the press's founder, James Laughlin, who ironically insisted that people shouldn't '[buy] books by eye,' while also acknowledging, 'I have had no bad conscience about using [designers] to increase sales.'

Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some rubbing/soiling to back cover, but else only very gentle shelf-wear. 371 pp. New Directions.
