About This Item
New Orleans: Loujon Press, 1961. First Edition. Printed wrappers. Very Good. Large 8vo. Pp. 101, [1]. Edited by Jon Edger Webb and Louise "Gypsy Lou" Webb. Front tissue guard stamped in red "Printed by Hand in New Orleans". Photo-illustrated wraps with text on front cover. Spot illustrations and black-and-white photographs. With four pages devoted to contributors, with photos. Several pages of ads for Beat journals. Bound in photo illustrated wraps. Printed on varying paper stock. Moderate age-toning to leaves; slight wear to spine and wrapper edges. Withal, a well-preserved copy. The debut issue of the noted NOLA Beat journal that, among the genre, was exceedingly well designed. Laden with ample contributions from major and minor figures. Cover appears to be mimeographed, whereas text block is offset. A circle in pen around an amusing blurb announcing the next issue ("It's really pregnant with the newest in Today's Poetry & Prose - and still in heat").
The run of The Outsider lasted for only five issues (the final issue comprising Numbers 4 and 5), perhaps owing to the vast effort each issue required. This copy is now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve with acid-free backing.
