Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1977. First edition. Octavo (9.5 x 6.25 in.); xi + 210pp.; brown cloth boards stamped in bronze on front panel and spine, lacking a jacket as issued. A fine hardcover copy of the first issue of this journal of textual studies. Perhaps most notable for containing the first English-language appearance of Jacque Derrida's important essay on J. L. Austin, "Signature Event Context," as well as a salty rebuttal by John Searle.
