[Amsterdam]: Privately Published, 1967. First edition. Narrow 4to, 16 pp, saddle-stapled wraps. Text in Dutch. The fourth issue of this provocative periodical published by the graphic desigher &artist Hans Ferrée. The backcover describes the periodical as provocative, prophetic, profane, and outlines the first projected 22 numbers of the periodical, which could be obtained not only at progressive bookstores, but also radical grocers and illuminated cigar shops. Unfortunately, only 5 were published. Ferrée later became an influential trends forecaster, a restaranteur, and museum maker. An innovative periodical, now scarce. OCLC locates only a small number scattered holdings, and none in North America.

Inscribed by Frost in the year following publication; "For Marguerita Goodwin from her friend Robert Frost" with ownership signature of Marguerita (Parkinson?) above, though the surname is not completely legible. With small bookseller's ticket from The Old Corner Bookshop in Boston to ffep. First edition of one of Frost's most prominent works, which collected Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening and other well known poems.

Cloth darkened at spine, though gilt still entirely legible; cloth covering the spine frayed through at extremities, with some resulting splitting; boards rubbed at extremities, with some minor toning within and a… Read More

New York: Jack Green, 1964. New York: Jack Green, c. 1964. Foolscap, each issue mimeographed from typescript on cheap paper and stapled once at the upper left hand corner. With 2 unnumbered supplements on Wilhelm Reich. Nos. 1-5 with smaller contents sheet at upper staple. Unpaginated with the exception of nos. 6 and 12-14, the latter consecutively numbered through the 3 issues. [14], [14], [16], [14], [12], 35, [16], [12], [24], [32], [6], 1-22, 23-46, 47-76, [16], [18], [16] pp. Collated against other examples of each issue we've handled over the years, and to the best of our knowledge complete. The first 17 issues of the eccentric zine and abiding literary enigma, comprising all issues that were published in the 1960's. An 18th issue followed in 1979 (fact). Jack Green is best remembered now for being the world's foremost, and hardest working fan of William Gaddis and The Recognitions, who devoted several other issues of Newspaper to defending the work against critics, as well as a full page… Read More

San Francisco: Latent News c/o Upshot, 1979. 4to, tabloid format, single sheet folded once into a four-pager. Collaged layouts and illustrations. A post-Situationist critique of industrial society and media. "The quest for adventure leads easily to the pursuit of escapes. The point is not to make a circus of one's life, but to fight for a life free of all admission charges." The address is c/o the John and Paula Zerzan Upshot po box. Additional horizontal fold, minor toning and a couple light creases. Very good.

Paris, 1962. 6 7/8 x 9 1/4" sheet, offset printed on green paper. Text in English. Indecipherable (to the cataloguer) Ink inscription in an unknown hand at lower margin in blue ink. Tract issued by Jacqueline de Jong, Jörgen Nash and Ansgar Elde in protest of the exclusion of the Gruppe Spur members, which provocatively drew parallels between the larger unrest in Paris and the fallout from the Conseil Central meeting. "No gallic clarity but a dark witches' trial." Two old fold lines, with heavy toning along the horizontal line, else very good.

Amsterdam: Aktiegroep Nieuwmarkt, 1975. Nos. 1-4, 6-21. Foolscap format, nos. 1-3 crimp-bound at left margin, later issues either stapled once at upper left hand corner, or folded, unbound sheets. Text in Dutch. A nearly complete run, lacking only the 5th number, of this impassioned underground periodical which bracketed the Nieuwmarkt Riots [Nieuwmarktrellen]. The riots protested the forced condemnation and eviction of buildings to construct the Eastern Metro, hence the striking drawing of a death's head train driving out of the cover of the first issue. On 24 March 1975, later known as Blue Monday, extensive riots broke out with police to protest the demolitions. While the demolitions continued, future plans for other metro lines were abandoned. The pages of Nieuwmarkt Dagblad capture the blow by blow intensity of those days, with striking artwork, cartoons, and photographs of the riots. Very good with scattered creasing and toning.

Paris: Venti-3, 2004. First edition. Square 12mo, 48 pp, bound in photographically illustrated, flexible boards. Translated into English by Susy Firth. The first English language edition of the work first published in French the year prior. The red earth variant. A superb essay on the origins of photography, published in the same format as many of the other curious and beautiful publications by the French bookseller. Fine.

[Berkeley?], nd. 8 1/2 x 11", photo-mecahnically reproduced. Illustrated with a drawing attributed to Arthur, with a date that appears to be 13, likely 2013. A mysterious flyer illustrated with a deturned drawing of the anthropomorphic UC Berkeley mascot Oski the bear, holding a hammer with the anarchy symbol emblazoned upon it, standing in front of a smashed television set. Oski has an ICBM missile in his back pocket. If the date of the flyer is 2013, we suspect that this flyer was created in response to the 2013 missile test from Vanderberg air base. Some light creasing, else fine.
