Jargon 90. Collection of black-and-white drawings by artist William (Bill) Anthony. Foreword by Robert Rosenblum. One of 2,000 copies issued in cloth, with metallic green foil illustration stamped on front cover, and illustrated endpapers. 84 pages. NEW."Those of us who have seen only a few of Bill Anthony drawings will never forget them, tart little comments on this or that sacred cow in a scraggly style instantly recognizable as his. But when these single drawings are all accumulated, categorized, and anthologized, as I'm happy to say they are here, a delirious new empire is born, with Bill Anthony's odd little flags staked out in the most expansive territories, giddily ranging from Hitler to Busby Berkeley, from Manet to the Pollock-Krasner menage, from dopey teen-age sex in America to bank robberies in the Wild West." -Robert Rosenbaum

Prospectus for Red/Gray (Jargon 3) which was published in an edition of 150 copies.

Fine condition, never mailed, perhaps because the cuts were off—part of the final "a" in North Carolina is sliced away, and a thin line of unprinted white space remains at the top of the prospectus.
