The limited issue, #12 of 150 copies signed by the author. Brown grained leather gilt lettered, spine with raised bands, gilt decoration, rounded outer corners, tipped in tissue guard at limitation page, in brown cloth slipcase. Fine copy. This is the first issue binding. Perhaps because the binding was so unattractive, the publisher abandoned the project and sold the unbound sheets to a Canadan bookseller who issued them in green cloth. Some say there were fewer than 20 in the first issue binding, others say 53 copies, making it one of the rarest Green items. This Canadian edition is the correct first (publisher Louise Dennys is Greene's niece).

Additionally, just beneath is a gilt sticker for Canada Basic Books. With later inscription by the author on title page in his minimalist scrawl "To___, with best, M. Ondaatje" The inscribee was an important book collector. His first book to win the Governor-General's Award, the hardcover issue is easily his RAREST TRADE BOOK.

A stated edition of 300 numbered copies, this is # 1, hand numbered.
