This specific copy was owned by Bob [Robert] Jackson, mega-collector who purchased the "Vaduz Archive" (the great archive of William S. Burroughs and Gysin) from Roberto Altmann, eventually selling it to the New York Public Library, where it sits in the Berg Collection. This copy is inscribed on verso by William S. Burroughs to Bob Jackson, and was acquired from Ken Lopez Bookseller (Hadley, Massachusetts, US).
