Fine Books and Manuscripts: Featuring Important Chicago Memorabilia

Miller, Henry. Into the Night Life. [Berkeley, 1947]. First edition. Decorative blue cloth with slipcase (possibly a replacement). Number 124 of 800. Color silkscreen illustrations by Bezalel Schatz. Small folio. Inscribed and signed by Miller on the flyeaf; numbered and signed by Miller and Schatz on the verso of the final seriagraph. Case well worn and sunned, book very good. The project was conceived by Schatz, Miller’s brother-in-law, and took approximately two years to complete. The text is based on Miller’s holograph from a chapter of Black Spring. Approximately 200 copies were bound in 1947, with the balance bound in 1971. Many copies bear the signs of worm and pest damage; this example does not.
