The Lords and The New Creatures, Jim Morrison
First trade edition, first printing of Morrison's first published book of poetry, preceded by the very rare self-published edition of 100 copies, and published just one year before his death.
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1970. Publisher's original purple cloth spine over purple-covered paper boards, lettered in silver and gilt; pp. 141. A very good or better copy in a near fine, unclipped dust jacket. Binding remains tight and sturdy, minor shelfwear and rubbing to boards. Owner's inscription to flyleaf, else internally clean. Jacket shows traces of shelfwear with a small closed tear near the spine crown. A very presentable copy, protected in archival mylar.
