journals by Jeff Nuttall (1968)
Journals
Jeff Nuttall
Unicorn Bookshop
Brighton, England
(c)1968
Unpaginated, staple-bound, oversized chapbook from early in the career of this multifaceted artist. Jeff Nuttall was every bit a renaissance man and this unique chapbook attests to. The drawings are incredible. His body of work was overwhelming. Most of these entries were written in 1967. Rare in itself. Worth the search, a treasure to behold.

second avenue by Frank O'Hara(1960)
Second Avenue
Frank O'Hara
Totem/Corinth
New York, New York
(c)1960
Unpaginated staple-bound chapbook with cover art by Larry Rivers. A must for collectors of O'Hara. The interesting thing about this particular copy is that the gutter of the book is so centered that someone missed that the text on the last page of text has been cut off (the text went beyond the page!) A printer's error. It's the little things that make the biggest difference, all the same.
Consists of a single poem, In Memory of Vladimir Mayakovsky.
