Trumansburg, NY: Out of Step Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2016. Numbered Edition; First Printing. Pamphlet. The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows
) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions…

Description:
Redondo Beach, CA: 2.13.61. Very Good+ with no dust jacket. 1985. Second Printing. Softcover. Light crease at the spine, from head to tail. Very slightly thumbed.; Quasi-beat, brief musings and blurtings out, taken from the author's notes and journals. Henry Rollins, lead singer of innovative punk bands Black Flag and Rollins Band, writes off-center, dramatic, drastic, profane, and often extreme thoughts that are hopefully fiction. Written in all capitals, because that's just how he is. One of the tamer examples: "THE WORLD CAN BE SUCH A COLD AND LONELY / PLACE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY / KNOWS. SO COLD AND DARK THAT SOMETIMES I / THINK I'M GOING TO DISAPPEAR AND GO / SPINNING DOWN THE DRAIN. DOWN TO SOME / COLD SEWER. SELF-DESTRUCTION BECOMES A / STRAIGHT LINE. STRIKING BACK AT A WORLD / THAT DOES NOT EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME. YOU / CAN'T HURT IT, IT CAN ONLY HURT YOU BACK." / "1-85 OAKVILLE, CANADA" Rollin's own book and record publishing…

Description:
Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2013. Third Printing. Hardcover. Over two decades, artist Ed Ruscha created numerous, small, artist's books, topically focused on examples of the mundane. His first artist's book Twentysix Gas Stations, was exactly that: photographs of twenty-six gas stations on Route 66 between Los Angeles and Oklahoma. Ruscha stated that he was not enamored with photography and that using the medium wasn't a goal itself. "The title came about before I even thought about the pictures. I like the word 'gasoline' and I like the specific quantity of twenty-six." His process and project were finding twenty-six examples that fit the idea. As Phil Taylor writes in this book, "Ruscha's books adopt the guise of non-creative art-making." This concept resonated with other artists and this book collects 91 small artist's books that "revisit, imitate, honor, and parody Ruscha in form, content, and title. Some…
