BURROUGHS, William S. (1914–1997). Scrapbook 3. Geneva: Editions Claude Givaudan, 1979.

Signed first edition, no. 9 of 30. This edition of Burroughs’ scrapbooks was produced by scanning pages from his notebooks and printing high-definition, textured Xerox copies in color which were then pasted together to recreate the original leaves. Printed in an edition of only 30 by Claudia Katayanagi and Patrick R. Firpo in New York, it offers a rare perspective into the creative process of this vanguard of the Beat Generation, as the only edition or reproduction of his notebooks ever produced. Only two copies have appeared at auction previously.

Folio (330 × 210mm). Signed “William S. Burroughs” in ink on limitation label and numbered “9” (of 30) in pencil. Publisher’s quarter black cloth styled as a notebook (few marks and lightly rubbed on lower board).
