Catalogue Note
One of 100 copies of the Black Sun Press's miniature edition of Harry Crosby's The Sun, printed on Japan. This copy out-of-series. Minkoff's Black Sun bibliography calls for a red morocco binding. The present unnumbered copy, however, is bound in brown morocco. A Black Sun Press rarity.
