The first edition of Lester Cohen’s wide-ranging memoir, in the vanishingly scarce original unclipped dust wrapper. 

The first edition, first impression, with no further impressions stated. 

In the vanishingly scarce original unclipped dust wrapper.

Publisher’s file copy, with archive stamp to half title and pencil annotation to front of wrap. This being a file copy is likely the reason for the dust wrapper’s unusual survival. 

'Two Worlds' tells of Cohen’s time spent on a world tour with his future wife and actress, Eden Gray, best known for her popularisation of tarot in the 1960s. The work is considered a pioneering example of a personalised perspective of the growing division between the communist and democratic states across Europe.

Dust wrapper is in excellent condition with just slight chipping and shelf wear to extremities. Slight fading to spine. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean.
