Scope and Contents

The cover depicts silkscreened portrait of levy and includes a handwritten inscription, "25 [cents] for levy's defense." The tipped-in silkscreen print on the page was probably made by levy. The text admonishes the people of Cleveland for the treatment of levy. According to a letter from Alan Horvath, this is the first version of the book that was subsequently published with a different cover/title page. Further, he indicated that pages were missing from the Sackner copy. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
