Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. The three volume set (Plexus, Nexus, Sexus) in publisher's slipcase of the author's famed Rosy Crucifixion, his fictional autobiography. All three volumes, obviously unread, are tight, square and truly Fine in their original dust jackets, Plexus and Nexus both Fine but for minuscule wear, hardly noticeable, at spine crown; the jacket on Sexus, however, also has some slight chipping at spine crown as well as a diagonal closed tear of about one inch extending down from crown. That said, this is a very collectible set in the original (quite worn at the top) Grove Press cardboard slipcase.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine First Edition in English of this 362pp political classic published in Moscow in 1945.

What makes this remarkably scarce and valuable piece into a rare historical treasure is that on the half-title page it is SIGNED BY STALIN and MOLOTOV. Presented in a handsomely decorated full morocco clamshell box.
