Laid in is an ALS from the book's printer Henry Morris to a collector, 1 1/2 pages, on Bird & Bull letterhead, 11/15/79: "Nagashizuki was out of print when your order arrived but I'd like not to disappoint you on your first order, so I am sending you a copy from my personal hoard: (It will be marked 'H. M. copy' instead of being numbered). I cannot send another copy, and I am afraid I have also run out of prospectuses, so I can't send the extra one you requested. I hope you find the book to your liking and again I thank you for your order. Sincerely, Henry Morris. 4to, illustrations, original quarter morocco and decorated paper by Seidayu Kodo over boards by Gray Parrot. Very fine copy.
