One of a stated 3100 copies in the edition, signed and dated by Bukowski at the colophon. As with all Loujon Press productions, the book is marked by a whimsical style using multi-colored papers of varying stocks and even sizes. Loujon proprietors Jon and Louise "Gypsy Lou" Webb were important early supporters of Bukowski, especially in their short-lived periodical "The Outsider". This book, along with their earlier Bukowski title, It Catches My Heart in its Hands, helped put him on the map early in his career and bring him to the attention of a literary audience that has continued to grow. An exceptionally fresh copy.

666: "The Hymn" to "Lucifer". San Francisco: Hells Angels M.C., 1968 Description
12 colour-printed (262 x 202 mm) single sheets, loose as issued in the original colour-printed glossy card .
Text in an approximation of the Hell's Angels Fat Frank #1 "font", psychedelic and astrological decorations, author portrait by Bay Area photographer Larry Keenan Jr. in reddish-orange on the rear panel of the chemise.
A few cover spots....see photo, but overall very good.
Notes
First edition, uncommon. Fascinating document of the San Francisco underground scene. A sequence of amphetamine-fuelled metaphysical explorations combining the Satanic, astrological, and psychedelic in equal measure, with just a dash of biker lore. Reynolds was secretary of the notorious SF chapter of the Hell's Angels, and the previous year had seen the publication of his autobiography "as told to" poet Michael McLure, with whom he had been performing musical settings of McClure's poems - Frank on… Read More

Description:
First edition, first printing, hardcover with dust jacket. Inscribed by Snyder on title page. See pics.
VG+ condition. Book itself is NF, clean and straight, corners sharp, pages tight. Only flaw is what initially appears to be sunning along the top and bottom margins of the panels. But on closer investigation, you can see that the very light patterns on the front and back covers match perfectly the design on the dust jacket. So the discoloring is actually a reaction to the dj ink, and not "sunning" at all, and perhaps could be expected on copies that have retained the dj over the life of the book. So the seeming flaw becomes an interesting printing anomaly.
Dust jacket condition VG- with some staining spots on bottom, and slight curling on edges that are ameliorated by the mylar cover.
This title is rare enough in hardcover, even more so signed.

Description:
Here is the rare, first edition hardcover of "Earth House Hold," signed by Gary Snyder. Only 2500 copies published in 1969 by New Directions (Item A 22 in the Gary Snyder Bibliography by Katherine McNeil). No dust jacket.
Signed on the title page by Snyder directly beneath and partially over his printed name, in his calligraphy script style.
Although one of Snyder's better-known books, signed copies are rare, especially in hardcover.
Condition is VG to VG- with some foxing and soiling, and light fraying to front corners of spine tips. Very mild bow to front board, shows only if you hold the book flat in your hand like a platter and hold it up to the light. (Most sellers wouldn't even mention it.)
All in all, a solid signed copy of this important title in the Snyder canon.
