Photographs. xiv, 266 pp. Condition: Very good in a near fine dust jacket ( foxing to top edge of text block, boards very slightly bowed, but overall an attractive, tight and clean copy)

The mail lets fall a Xerox of something written by a man aged 27, a hostage, tortured in prison” – but underneath all is love, a strong and enduring love between two women. Square format in stiff wrappers, with attached outer wrapper. One of only 1000 copies, hand-bound, and designed and printed by Bonnie L. Carpenter (plus 26 lettered). Unpaginated.
