Black cloth boards stamped in gilt; red endpapers. Wear to jacket laminate; spotting; creasing and toning to flaps. Boards cocked and edgeworn; a few scuffs. Binding gives a little but overall sound; staining and dust soiling to edges of text block, else unmarked; Good to Very Good. A dense collection of this concrete poet and fluxus artist's shorter works and a satisfying association copy.
