Inscription in ink begins, "For my dear friend Paul Jordan Smith ... ." Jordan-Smith was the American lecturer and scholar of English literature whose art movement, "Disumbrationism," was eventually revealed as a hoax. Wilbur Jordan Smith, his son, ran UCLA Special Collections from 1950s-1970 or so. The dust jacket, illustrated by one of the Brownes, is now preserved in a removable clear archival sleeve.
