Esopus 04 [With CD] Paperback - 2005
by Tod Lippy (Editor)
From the publisher
The New York Times has praised Esopus as "a thing of lavish, eccentric beauty, less flipped through than stared at," and has also stated that, upon viewing it, readers will " . . . reconcile their expectations of what a magazine is . . . ." Sticking to the format that has garnered it so much praise, Esopus again presents the following sections: artists' projects, critical writing, visual essays, fiction, interviews, and a CD of specially commissioned music. This fourth issue of the semiannual, advertisment-free publication contains artists' projects by Ed Ruscha, Ati Maler, and Shanan Kurtz; "The Greatest," an 11"x 52" removable poster of Savannah barber Ulysses Davis's wood carvings of 40 U.S. presidents; 100 frames from Clair Denis's 2002 film, Vendredi Soir (with an appreciation by cinematographer Ellen Kuras); a piece on the evolution of ice cream truck music by musicologist Daniel Tannehill Neely; New York City chef Jody Williams's essay on learning how to cook in Italy; new fiction from Ethan Rutherford, Alex Shear's Object Lesson No. 4 (a removable insert), Angus Trumble's "1685 in Retrospect;" and a found object contributed by Steven Heller. The accompanying CD features 13 songs inspired by reader-submitted descriptions of childhood imaginary friends, which will also be published in the issue. Contributors to this include the B-52's Kater Pierson, Grant Hart, Jon Langford (The Mekons), Avery Tare (Animal Collective), Kimya Dawson (The Moldy Peaches), Vetiver, Solex, and Ruth Gerson.

Book Conditions Explained
Biblio’s Book Conditions
-
As NewThe book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.
-
Fine (F)A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
-
Near Fine (NrFine or NF)Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
-
Very Good (VG)A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
-
Good (G or Gd.)The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”
-
FairIt is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.
-
Poor (P)A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
