Presumed second printing conforming exactly to the first but without "1-61" on the rear wrap. A wonderful example SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Becket to one of his translators on the title page: "pour - Török Gábor Samuel Beckett. Janvier 1988."

"Comment C'est" was published in English in 1964 as "How it Is" though this translation loses the pun in the French original Comment C'est is pronounced identically as "commencer" the French verb meaning "to begin.".
