MONEY: and How It Gets That Way.
Paris: Booster Publications, (1938). First edition. INSCRIBED TO THE PAINTER HILAIRE HILER, "To Hilaire Hiler -- monetary expert. Henry 10/38. Hiler, a fellow expatriate in Paris in the 1920s, tutored Miller in art, and he and Miller (together with William Saroyan) later authored a 1945 book on the subject called WHY ABSTRACT? Page gatherings apparently over-glued at spine and roughly opening (by Miller for the inscription?) causing the cover to fall from the text block, taking a few tiny pieces of the first leaf with it; and Hiler has perhaps read his copy at bath as it's a little rumpled and shows light damp staining to first several leaves. Otherwise about very good and a wonderful association regardless of condition issues.
