Poop Charles Bukowski Montfort Poem Photographs Xray book co Ltd Ed Photographs

  
Boxed Edition limited to 100 copies, of which this is numbered 26. A superbly crafted letterpress broadside of the poem wrapped around a series of 13 photographs taken between 1979 & 1992. Each photo is individually housed in thick crystal clear plastic, with backing boards loosely separating each. The whole collection is held together with a band strikingly letterpressed with X-Ray and housed in a quality custom box. Johnny Brewton of the legendary X-Ray Book Co.

Is famous for his gathering and offering of rare and limited pieces of conceptual art. As well as his keen sense of design and skills with the letterpress process.

These include broadside stories & poetry, chapbooks, photographs, esoterica, drawings, found objects (buttons, ads, business cards, dingbats, etc), contributed by artists, writers, and other creative types. Thompson, Bukowski, Brautigan, Billy Childish, COOP, John Crespo, Picasso Gaglione, and Fante are just of few of those who have appeared in this zine. Each issue is limited typically to 100-300 numbered copies signed by contributor(s), with often an additional 26 lettered copies signed by most if not all that are living. Each offering is uiquely bound and/or put together. Hunter's chapbook Eulogy to Timothy Leary, Mistah Leary He Dead, is a fine example.

It was limited to 326 copies, hand-done, and included a 1/4 page of acid blotter. The previously unreleased poem POOP by Charles Bukowski is also another example. This item is as it was originally created and distributed. The collection of photographs are still wrapped in bubble wrap for more secure fitting inside the box, as originally produced. The only flaw of note is that the lid of the box is somewhat pressed in a little.

Just a little pressed in. A spectacular addition to any library, or gift to an avid collector. I will happily answer any further questions. To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers. Best not to waste our time.

With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer. If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings. I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases.

I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success. I've packed books securely for 2 decades and will take great care with your order. This is not something in my control, nor do I handle that in any way.

Thank you for considering this offering! This item is in the category "Books & Magazines\Books".
