First trade edition, published by Grove Press in 1954. The American edition followed the original Paris production. Beckett did his own translation. Text preceded by four pages of photographs. Book is elegantly presented in black boards stamped For Godot and with white lettering to the spine. This copy’s one slight imperfection is a ghost of a paperclip appearing on the front flyleaves. Original dust jacket (with cast photo from the Paris production) is price clipped. Still bright looking. Shows visible damage to the top edge of the spine and a couple of clean tears (1’4 inch and 2 inches) . A desirable copy of an iconic work.
Book fine: dj very good.
