New York City: Anchor Books / Random House (book), 1999.
10" x 8" x 0.75", 266 pages, softcover, ISBN 0-385-49080-1.

Complete: Lyrics, Notes and Reflections by Patti Smith, as published in a first softcover edition by Anchor Books under Random House (New York City) in 1999. 

A blurb by William S. Burroughs is on the rear cover: “Patti Smith is not only a great performer, she is a shaman—that is, someone in touch with other levels of reality. Her effect on the audience is electric, comparable to voodoo or umbanda rituals, where the audience members become participants and are literally lifted out of themselves.”

In addition, a Kate Simon photograph of Smith and Burroughs together is at page 28, with commentary about their relationship.

A photograph memorializing Burroughs, noting his days of birth and death is at page 200, along with some comments on page 202.

This copy was formerly in the collection of Harvard professor James Russell, acquired from Philip Smith, Bookseller (Berkeley, California, US).
