Exceptional example of one of the few works to come out of the Gemor Press, which Anaïs Nin and her lover Gonzalo More established in Greenwich Village in 1942. Though named after Gonzalo, Nin raised the money, taught herself to set type, and did the lion's share of the physical work for the press. Distribution in turn was aided by Frances Steloff at the Gotham Book Mart. Many of the works, as is the case here, were illustrated by Nin's husband Hugh Parker Guiler.
