"This little book, written by Gus Bofa in the heyday of 1939, was about to be published when war broke out. It was published in 1940, ten months late, but as it was at the time. The author had refused to make the slightest change, and the man in charge of censoring it also refused to make any cuts."

A fine copy preserved in its publisher's slipcase reserved for Arches prints.
