First edition, first printing, first issue, number 4 of The Pocket Poets Series, signed by the author & three others; small 4to; original black wrappers with cream cover label printed in black, small tear and creasing to back cover, spine with some browning, else very good. A remarkable copy of the most influential book of poetry published since the Second World War. Signed by the author on the title page, and additionally by William Burroughs, Lawrence Ferlinghetti (the publisher), and Carl Solomon (the poem's dedicatee). Whilst copies of later printings signed Ginsberg are far from rare, examples of the correct first issue with multiple signatures certainly are.
