Description
AB119022, Brewton Johnny (editor); Bukowski Charles; Brautigan Richard; Childish Billy; Fante Dan; levy d. a.; Montfort Michael [Hunter S. Thompson photo]; Moore Thurston et al., X-Ray No. 9, Ventura, CA., 2003, X-Ray Book Co, First Edition, Broadsides, Chapbooks, Photos Housed in Publisher’s Box, Near Fine, No. 30 of 100 numbered copies. A brilliant mix of broadsides (one on balsa wood), pamphlets, artwork, photos, a 45rpm floppy single etc.. some signed, most numbered, quite a few unattributed. The d. a. levy “an excerpt from: Prose: on Poetry in the Wholesale Education & Culture System” is numbered 30/100 like most of the others but is published by Jason Davis’ Verdant Press & whilst the publisher is credited levy’s name does not appear on the label inside the box. The only fault is that the adhesive strip on the transparent envelope containing un unattributed photo has small surface fragments of paper with some mirror-text from Thurston Moore’s Sleeping Pill adhering to it (which I can imagine him viewing with approval); the original, printed on a trunk label complete with string ties, remains easily legible. Wraparound band present.
