This copy is #85/300 and is in pristine, like-new condition. Purchased directly from the publisher upon release in December 1998, it has remained carefully sealed and stored. It has never been displayed, handled, or exposed to light, a rare opportunity to own a volume that is as fresh as the day it was printed.
The clamshell case is immaculate, the Arches paper is crisp, and the silkscreens retain their original brilliance. The signatures of Maya Angelou and Phoebe Beasley are strong and clear.
This is more than a book, it is a work of art, a collector’s treasure, and an enduring legacy of two of the most important voices in literature and art.
