Henry Miller: A Bibliography of Primary Sources, Lawrence J. Shifreen & Roger Jackson — First European Edition

Publication: Paris, Alyscamps Press / Karl Orend Publishers, 1993

Formatting: Thick 8vo, pp. [xxvi], 1022.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The original dark green cloth binding remains exceptionally tight and square, showing virtually no shelf-wear to the extremities. The gilt titling to the front board and spine remains remarkably bright and unoxidised, indicating the book has been shielded from direct sunlight and environmental degradation. The corners are sharp and the hinges are entirely sound, suggesting the volume has been handled with great care despite its hefty size. Internally, the pages are crisp, clean, and bright, completely free from foxing, tearing, or creasing. A beautifully preserved, sturdy example of an essential reference work.

Catalogue Note: This volume represents the First European Trade Edition of Shifreen and Jackson's exhaustive bibliography. As indicated by the copyright page, this European issue is identifiable by its specific ISBN and its dark green cloth binding—distinguishing it from the maroon cloth typically found on the American release. It also features a foreword exclusive to the European edition, alongside an original preface by Henry Miller himself.

The bibliography is extensively illustrated with over 100 pages of photographic reproductions of Miller's primary publications. While standard copies of this reference work are uncommonly encountered, the European green cloth variant is particularly scarce on the open market today.

A monumental and exhaustive reference work, Henry Miller: A Bibliography of Primary Sources catalogs over seven decades of the iconic author’s published writings and artwork. From his earliest pieces in 1919 through to 1992, this comprehensive guide meticulously details books, pamphlets, broadsides, foreign translations, and audio-visual appearances. Featuring an original preface by Miller, this bibliography stands as the definitive resource for navigating the complex and prolific publishing history of one of the 20th century’s most controversial and influential literary figures.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
