One issue with splash mark on the cover and another with small stain on the rear wrap but overall fine with bright white wrappers typically found toned. Laid into the first volume is a Autograph Note Signed by Acker as The Black Tarantula along with a small drawing of a spider: "Fielding Dawson said you might be interested being put on my mailing list - Love The Black Tarantula." Accompanied by five original mailing envelopes stamped with The Black Tarantula return address and addressed in Acker's hand to Robert Bertholf the influential poetry professor and former curator of The Poetry Collection at Buffalo. The first of Acker's three six-volume novels preceded only by her poetry collection Politics written in parts and issued separately in very limited numbers and consequently very difficult to find complete and in original form. A wonderful copy in remarkable condition with an handwritten note by Acker and the rarely found original mailing envelopes. Community Congress Press) unknown
