New York: Boni and Liveright, 1927. Hardcover. Limited Edition. Number 625 of 650 copies. Facsimile signature of Duncan on front free endpaper. This book was published posthumously on the basis of Duncan’s handwritten text and illustrated with 24 black and white photographs of her (two by Arnold Genthe). As one of the great free spirits of the early 20th century, Duncan’s account of her life was as uninhibited as her career. This is one of the “presentation copies” published as a limited edition for authors and other friends of Boni and Liveright. In black cloth boards with red leather label titled in gilt on spine. Light rubbing to boards, wear to spine ends, and chips and tears to title label. Cracked hinges although text block is still tight. Clean interior. Very good. 359 pages. DRA/081022. Very Good.
