This copy, which is #130 of the 150 red copies, was formerly owned by Jim McCrary — poet, Burroughs office manager, and friend of Burroughs — who wrote the "Allen Visits William" essay in this item. This was acquired directly from him during a visit to Lawrence, Kansas, and is inscribed by him to me.

I additionally have #14 of the 150 red copies in the archives. This was acquired from the Estate of Lon Stacks (Detroit, Michigan, US).
