A Very Good copy of this Limited Edition.   Black linen covered boards with a sheet of red pellet-riddled balsa veneer laid down, as issued.  Contains seven color screen print reproductions (one for each sin) of "shotgun paintings," interleaved with brief texts by the artist/author.  Frontispiece is a Robert Mapplethorpe image of Burroughs wielding a shotgun.  Black cloth has a few light marks at rear cover head, but interior is crisp and bright.  

A late work by William S. Burroughs (1914-1997), combining images of his shotgun paintings with texts about each of the seven deadly sins.  Notes at the back give details on the print edition of each image.

The colophon reads "Luxe Edition 150.  Signed and numbered by William S. Burroughs."  This copy is neither signed nor numbered.
