New York City: Fuck You Press, 1964. First edition. Very good.. Complete set of Ed Sanders's short-lived "Quote of the Week" from his notorious press, featuring three brief selections from Harry Fainlight, John Ashbery, and Kenneth Koch. Run off over the course of several weeks in the fall of 1964, these three gossipy, insular, self-referential broadsides are among the most ephemeral and quintessentially FU productions to be pulled off of Sanders' Lower East Side mimeograph. The first, dated Sept. 5th, is by Harry Fainlight (1935-1982) and transcribes a piece of a conversation Fainlight delivered at Bickfords in Times Square: "I have piles / I thought it was / gonorrhea / it's terrible / I have to / do all / kinds of / sordid blow job / scenes / now." The second, dated Sept. 14th, records poet John Ashbery's reaction (overheard at a party at Bill Berkson's on East 57th Street) to Ed Sanders' recently-issued TOE-QUEEN POEMS. And the third, dated September 23rd, finds Kenneth Koch having just read… Read More

(New York): Fuck You Press, 1962. First edition. All issues near fine or better.. Rare complete 13-issue run of Sanders's infamous little magazine of the mimeo revolution - in extraordinary condition. A difficult run to assemble under even the best of circumstances - the first issue was handed out for free on the streets of the Lower East Side, both the "Mad Motherfucker" and final issues were subject to confiscation during the Peace Eye raid that ultimately killed FU, and issue 5.1 remains almost inexplicably elusive - this set was put together by the original purchaser and literally pulled from a cabinet in the Village where it had been stored undisturbed for decades. As such, the condition of nearly every issue is practically as the day they were printed. In particular, the "Mad Motherfucker" issue, with its fragile thermofax cover by Andy Warhol, is stunningly well-preserved. Not only does the cover remain mounted to all staples, but it lacks any of the typical chipping or creasing. It is sharp… Read More

New York: Fuck You Press, 1965. First edition. Very good.. Scarce final issue (the fourteenth) of Sander's legendary and infamous mimeo, printed "At a Secret Location on the Lower East Side" - from the library of poet and publisher Kenward Elmslie. In January 1966, Sander's Peace Eye Bookstore was raided by police for distribution of obscene material and copies of FU (including this final issue) were confiscated. It seems reasonable to assume this issue's scarcity (and its terminality) are directly related to this incident. Contributors to this installment include Ted Berrigan, John Wieners, Al Fowler, Gilbert Sorrentino, Robert Kelly, and others - including Joe Brainard, whose longtime partner Kenward Elmslie's copy this is. Along with the debut and Mad Motherfucker (with its infamous Warhol cover, which undoubtedly contributed to the Peace Eye raid) issues, one of the most difficult numbers of FU to acquire. 11'' x 8.5''. Side-stapled pictorial wraps. Mimeographed throughout. Cover by Sanders.… Read More
