Softcover. First edition. Octavo. String-tied red printed wrappers. Fine. Twenty-two poems written alternately by Smith and Verlaine. This is copy number 13 of 22 hand-numbered copies with a Rimbaud piece Signed by Patti Smith bound in. The colophon indicates that there were 25 copies signed by both poets, but Verlaine signed none, and the handwritten limitation seems to indicate that there were 22 copies rather than either the 25 stated, or the 20 we've heard speculated. Rare.
