About This Item
[Los Angeles]: n.p., (1988). First edition. Small octavo. [78] pp. with large illustrations after Undine on nearly every recto. Publisher's stiff black wrappers with black tape spine. Printed paper cover label bearing title on the front and on the rear we find another printer's label that just states "Friese." No record on OCLC or anywhere else. Not copyrighted. A very haunting story/poem with excellent illustrations. Conceivably the only copy extant."The Book of Guess... was inspired by a dream a year previously about a book that had an hypnotic effect on its reader. The images were all drawn while I was hitchhiking around the US and Canada in the years of ‘85 through ‘88." From correspondence with the illustrator.Friese Undine was born in Los Angles but now lives in New York. While primarily a painter, Friese also produces three-dimensional pieces and has written and performed works for theater. His work has been exhibited in the USA and internationally. Other interests of his are psychology, primatology, human evolution, history, politics, cannibalism, and cabinets of curiosity.
