Illustrated with portrait and three leaves of stills from the stage production. Pagination irregular. [vii] pp.; 7-60 ff. (numbered on left page); [5] pp. 1 vols. 8vo. First edition in English (translated by the author), preceding the British edition. Fine in fine dustwrapper with slightest toning at the spine and a tiny tear, housed in a quarter morocco and cloth clamshell case. Inscribed by Beckett to another writer: "for Dan Pope from Sam Beckett". Additionally Signed by Grove Press publisher Barney Rosset. Probably the scarcest and most preferred issue of the Nobel Prize winner's most famous title, one of the great works of the world stage. A major innovation in modern drama, possibly the most important play of the 20th Century, and certainly the first theatrical success of the Theatre of the Absurd. A beautiful Inscribed copy.
