New York, NY: William H. Wise. Fine. 1929. Reprint. Broadside. Some leaves have slight binding perforations at the left edge.; Twelve of Elbert Hubbard's mottos, or "epigrams," as he would sometimes call them. Each motto printed in an Arts and Crafts style: text within a graphic frame with decorative borders, some styled after similar borders by William Morris' Kelmscott Press.

No Place Stated: Sufi George Books. Fine with no dust jacket. N.D.. Limited Signed Edition. Broadside. The author George Arthur Lareau is the self-proclaimed "Last Surviving Boston Beatnik Poet" and has produced various broadsides, books of poetry, and non-fiction works since the early 60s. This early poem, circa 1963, is the basis of a later book by the same title, compiling various writings by Lareau. The poem is letterpress printed as an 8 1/2" x 11" broadside on a sheet of stiff, "parchment" paper. The serif font text is framed by a printed scroll.
