Howl and Other Poems

Not a book-club book. Later printings state the printing ('Second Printing,' 'Third Printing,' etc.) on the copyright page, drop 'Lucien Carr' from the dedication, and from the third printing were produced in the U.S. A stated printing, a dedication lacking Lucien Carr, or a missing period after 'Harlem' marks a later issue. Note: the printed wrapper price is NOT a reliable discriminator among the early printings — rely on the dedication, the 'Harlem' period, and the presence/absence of a printing statement.
