In-16 booklet, ivory half-box, hinged covers, each made of wooden slats, with ebony inlays; title in green letters on the front cover; mauve suede linings, untrimmed; original brown printed paper cover preserved; rigid case made of wooden slats (Antonio P.N.).

Autographed dedication on the half-title page: Dear Rolland de Renéville Marcel Duchamp All of Duchamp’s dedications on this booklet are written in this manner. A friend of Jean Paulhan, André Rolland de Renéville (1903–1962) was associated with René Daumal and the Grand Jeu. He was among the friends and “great readers” of Henri Michaux: Michaux recommended him to the NRF in 1932 to review *Un certain Plume* in place of Michel Leiris, whom Paulhan had proposed but whom Michaux did not know. Superb hinged binding by Antonio Perez-Noriega.
