In November 2006 there was one of those hot chronic debates about whether PF the poem could stand on its own. As I happen to own a copy of the Arion Press PF (copy #11, by the way, acquired in 2000 for the amount cited below), I sent to the N-List scans of the charming oblong booklet containing the poem. However, the editor asked me compress the files as they were too large to distribute to the List -actually, barely 1MB. Ironically, nowadays our inboxes are cluttered with files at least twice as large. Of course, I neither had the time nor the inclination to compress, constrict, squeeze, compact, contract, press the files.

I looked up the Arion edition.  200 copies at $600 apiece.  Definitely a fine press limited edition.
