Tales of Joujouka by Mohamed Hamri [often referred to as just "Hamri"], as re-published in a limited [limitation not stated] softcover edition by Éditions Jardon Majorelle (Marrakech, Morocco) in 2022. This follows the 1975 edition published by The Capra Press (California, US). Illustrated by Hamri. Translated by Blanca Hamri. Designed by Anthea Pender.

William S. Burroughs contributes a blurb (from 1974, while in Colorado) to the rear cover of this edition, which is not present in the original 1975 edition: "The djnouin spirits of Morocco whisper and ripple and frolic through Hamri's paintings ... scattering light over fruit trees, sunflowers, walls and fields, pelting the streets of Tangier with winter rain. You can breathe all the magic of Morocco from these canvases, the pipes Pan that make perfume in the air."
