London: Neville Spearman, [1955]. First edition, preceding U.S. publication. Hardcover 8vo. Illustrated. With a preface by Henry Miller. An unabashedly affectionate biography by Miller's longtime friend. Perhaps the most detailed account of Miller's Paris years on through his sojourn in Big Sur, CA.
Laid into this copy on Miller's letterhead is a 1954 ALS to their fellow expatriate friend, Daviid Edgar, by both Miller and Perles after a hiatus of some 20 years.
Also laid in is a photographic postcard of Miller and Perles that advertises this book with its pre-publication title "The Henry Miller Story." Hand-addressed and signed by Miller to David Edgar.
A triangular association copy of surpassing importance that began when the three men were close friends in Paris in the Villa Seurat neighborhood where Miller composed "Tropic Of Cancer." Fine in a fine dust jacket.
