1979 VERY RARE indeed to find a complete copy of this special hardback numbered and signed limited edition. And it is signed on a special limitation page by GRAHAM SUTHERLAND no less! His signature, simply 'Sutherland', is underneath Tambimuttu's. A very rare signature, obviously highly prized, and when it is part of a brilliant hardback book it becomes utterly desirable. This is copy number 67 of only 150 worldwide copies. And, tucked into the back, is the 7-inch 33 1/3 record of Ginsberg reading Plutonium Ode. This is sometimes missing from copies. The anthology is also an exceptionally interesting one. Work by Ted Hughes, Alan Brownjohn, Bernard Gutteridge, Iris Murdoch, Bob Dylan, Craig Raine, and many others. A superb and attractive volume, bound in buckram, with the Graham Sullivan picture on the cover in colour. This is a truly exceptional copy of a highly collectable issue, and it is the best condition copy I have ever seen. 0.0 0.0 0.0. Illus. by Graham Sutherland. Signed by… Read More

It s a bit difficult for some. What s a zephyr? And let s hope these tiny tidy minded literary experts can then demolish Lewis Carroll. After all, words that are made up are excluding and irrational.
