About This Item
San Francisco, Calif: Self Published, 1955. 1st Edition . Spiral Bound. Good. Don Freeman. A rare item self-published by Freeman in a very small edition - prior to this copy I had not seen another copy for over 4 years. This copy comes from the personal estate of a long time Santa Barbara dealer. Front cover heavily toned along with edges of the first 5 or so leaves; front cover with some water stains and bottom corner is missing and 3 or so holes tearing at the wire binding. Back cover with some staining. Interior is clean except last 14 leaves have minor staining at the bottom edge that does not go into the image ranging from 3/4 inch going down to a tiny dot. A near wordless story (it has a sentence introducing the happy Skitzy and another sentence introducing the unhappy one) Published by Don Freeman at John D. Hooper Lithographers, 343 Front St., San Francisco, Calif. 14 x 11 cm (5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches) From the back cover of the 2008 reprint: .the delightful tribute to creative and commercial impulses, Skitzy. This lightly comedic tale follows a day in the life of a man literally divided between life as an office worker and as an artist. Without the use of dialogue, Freeman's fluid and economical illustrations create an engrossing and fully believable environment, seducing the reader into a familiar world where expressive, gestural drawings explore the possibility of striking a perfect balance between work and play.
