First edition. 66 pp. Decorated paper over boards. Inscribed by Witter Bynner ( Emanuel Morgan) to Miguel Covarrubias: "in Mexico City and New York". A wonderful association copy of one of the great literary hoaxes of the century. Bynner would have known the great Mexican artist in New York (both frequented Carl Van Vechtan's parties) and later in Mexico City when Bynner traveled there with D. H. Lawrence. Good only. Corners well worn, mild dampstaining to end papers, one inch piece missing from the top of the spine, tape residue on spine. Interior clean and a more than acceptable copy given the inscription.
