Octavo. xxiv, 131pp. Illustrated with an engraved frontispiece portrait of Melville by Barry Moser, signed by the artist. Edited and with an Introduction by Helen Vendler. The edition was designed to mirror the Arion Press' sixth publication, Moby-Dick, produced in 1979. It uses the same typeface, Goudy Modern, the same paper with watermarks of the mill, the press, and the sperm whale, and the artistic contributions of the same artist, Moser. In the publisher's binding of blue morocco trimmed blue cloth boards, housed in matching slipcase. Fine.
