Carmel CA: the school, 1965. Pamphlet. Unpaginated, mimeo'd rectos only, about 17p., an amateur job clumsily stapled (the following year, the '66, it gets professional); typos are let stand or overprinted, mimeo-ing is faintish, publication data conventions misapplied, the cover drawing is hard to make out. Item slightly edgeworn. A first attempt, with touches of promise: Carmel is, after all, a storehouse of talent, and the poems demonstrate genuine literacy. Note the "cover price" - not really a yearbook.
