Tropic of Capricorn
Henry Miller, 1939
MILLER, Henry (1891-1980). Tropic of Capricorn. Paris: Obelisk Press, [1939].

First edition of Miller's banned semi-autobiographical novel. Concieved as a prequel to his earlier Tropic of Cancer, this novel's sexually explicit passages likewise earned it a ban in the United States until 1961. Copies had to be smuggled into the US and were often seized by customs. Shifreen & Jackson A21b.

Octavo. Yellow errata slip tipped in. Original red and white printed wrappers without printed flaps, unopened; custom chemise and slipcase.
