Henry Miller by Nicholas Moore signed first edition 1943

MOORE, Nicholas. Henry Miller. Wigginton, Herts: The Opus Press, 1943.
 
Slim octavo pamphlet, 40pp including the two-page bibliography at rear. Original pink printed wrappers priced "1/-" to upper cover. Signed by Henry Miller in blue ink to the title page. Gentle vertical central crease throughout from former folding, a little light handling and trivial edge wear to wrappers; very good overall.
 
A wartime British pamphlet study of Henry Miller by the poet and critic Nicholas Moore, issued by the Opus Press during a period when Miller's work remained controversial and difficult to obtain in Britain and America. The essay provides a concise contemporary appreciation of Miller, followed by a short bibliography of his published works. A pleasing signed example.
