This is just what it sounds like : a report on the locations of all known copies of Herman Melville’s John Marr (1888) and Timoleon (1891), the two last books of poems (each printed in editions of 25 copies), with a note about Maurice Sendak, Bill Reese, and others. Of the copies printed, 26 lettered copies are reserved for presentation (including all named institutions). There are also 25 numbered copies (signed by the author), a few of which remain available for subscribers.
