Manchester, England: Northern Writers [Private Press], 1972. First Edition . Trade Paperback w/Dustjacket. Fine Minus/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This copy is signed by the author on the title page. Why won't some established publisher release this cross-genre delight into the world (like a virus)? We've heard all the excuses, for example: "How do we market it?" and "There's only a limited audience for this sort of thing." I suggest that a dozen limited audiences - one for each way of reading this maddening work - add up to a substantial audience! 142 pages, plus i-x: "Notes for a Novel - The Copywriter", dated 9/1/67. (Additionally, an amber slip of reviews is laid in.) CONDITION: the book itself is bright, tight, unmarked, uncreased, and likely unread, with negligible shelf-wear (just a hint of discoloration on the page-block bottom). Its dustjacket, cut slightly taller than the book, show a touch of wear and near creasing at the top. This is a handsome, very collectible copy - now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag.
