 DETAILS: (London): B4 Publishing, 1988. First edition. Green papered boards, with gilt title to front board. Unpaginated. Illustrated with 9 plates, some in colour. Folio (large coffee table sized book - 12in x 16.75in). This is quite a heavy item weighing over 1kg with packaging.

CONTENTS: A collection of writing and art works from a variety of individuals. Some of the plates are signed. Poetry and prose entries come from Selima Hill, Michael Symmons Roberts, David Powell, Alan Bold and Patricia Connolly. The art pieces include tipped-in plates and a few loose plates. Artists include Douglas Allsop, Matthew Tyson, Francesca Lowery*, 'Childe Roland'*, Volker Strater*, Matteo Adolfini*, Marco Bettoni*, and Josephine Pryde. Those marked with an asterisk are signed pieces, and some of those (and a couple of others) include the copy number pencilled in (most appear to have been made especially for this volume, since they match the copy number at the front of the book - no. 30 out of 150 copies). A rare and striking volume, of interest to collectors.
