Cohen, Leonard — Beautiful Losers (+ ephemera)

N.Y. Viking, 1966. 1st. Hardcover. First edition, precedes Canadian ed. 8vo, black cloth, dustjacket. Fine text very fresh and tight with no sign of use, no owner's marks, only flaw is one gathering of leaves protrudes slightly due to the printing process. The dj is the nicest we have seen on this book: light wear to extremities, no tears, not clipped. A superb Nearly Fine/Nearly Fine copy. Whiteman A9. Laid in an original news clipping of a Viking Press ad for this book with a photo of Cohen and a poem "a love story a palm etc." At the bottom a review by Brendan Gill. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.
