Between the Covers

Unbound. Typescript. Quarto. 47, 50, 74pp. An early, photomechanically reproduced copy with a few scattered ink corrections throughout, though not necessarily in Albee's hand. The first few leaves slightly toned, else fine. An English play adapted by Albee and Signed twice by him, at the beginnings of Act One and Act Three. Albee revised the play several times and again after Cooper was killed in an accident. Said Albee, "I can only say that our work has become enmeshed to the point that I can no longer tell where his leaves off and mine begins." While the play was something of a failure at the box office and with critics, its film rights were sold for a modest profit.
