This copy is thus from the library of British artist, writer and musician DAVID TIBET (founder of the music group Current 93) it also has his OWNERSHIP SIGNATURE on the first blank. Upper corner lightly bruised and overall with a little light shelf-wear, but at first glance the volume appears in near-new condition. HOWEVER the bottom edge is darkened and there is some creasing and tearing to the bottom corner of about fifty pages (at its worst the affected area is not much bigger than a couple of match-heads) which is possibly a printing/binding flaw Otherwise a tight, clean copy with interesting association.
