this is the Richard Howard translation, hardcover. I rescued it from a dumpster last summer.

There is a napkin inside between pages 114 & 115 with scribbling most likely intended for a journal. There is no name. It's dated 7/20/72. Here is what it says:

May not go to California afterall,
going due N.E. through New England
as planned and still on schedule.
Drifted through winchester to
see Emily, and did, from a
distance in a bar.
May be back in 2 wk. but
hard to say. like to get to Mexico in Dec.

Saw exhibit of Aztec
relief prints that took
mind away, have to see real
thing. Considering abode in
Shannandoah Valley. Finally saw
summer but the Northern
humidity twice as bad as

southern heat. Seen 8 art
depts. + bored shitless but
have plans for portfolio
+ completed sketches for
christ. Will have to decifer
mind doodle of premtory pieces...
to fulfill lost deceptive
plans

It's still in pretty decent shape though its vintage certainly shows. The printing is by KNOPF and from May 1972 which is interesting because I believe it was first published back in '71. This may be a run of the first English translation? Not sure. The jacket features a close up of Camus with a high collar, smoking the stub of a cigarette. The cover itself is white with indented gold lettering. The tip tops of the pages are red which makes for a nice bird's eye view (and one you just don't see anymore).
