Soft cover. Etat : Good. 1st Edition. 72pp. Significant mimeograph, one of the first, in representing the emerging literary underground. Extremely scarce. This copy in good only condition, though the binding is sound and the interior clean. The front cover has a tear about 1" vertical, which continues up as a crease for about another 2" Corner of the front cover has a 3" diagonal bend, with some other much lighter creasing below it. Rear cover has uneven toning around the edges, and there is some light rubbing and scuffing at other parts. Now covered in mylar, it looks fairly sharp despite the above mentioned issues. Interior, as mentioned, is clean. Small dampstain which oddly only effects the 3 pages that have the Bladen illustrations, not actually touching the image, just to the upper corner in the margins. Upper corner lightly bumped for the last 30 or so pages. Slightly rusty staples but seem well intact. Staples have left a dark imprint on the interior of both from and rear cover. With the editors response to the negative press at the time which tried to disparage the literary merits of the Bay Area underground.
