25.5 x 38cm, blue and silver silkscreen of a typewriter visual poem. This is one of 8 signed, titled and numbered works by Riddle (in pencil). The image is poor here because the work is under reflective plastic wrap - hence the reflection but it is VG+.

30 x 21cm, 4pp. The first number of Finlay’s international poetry publication (edited by J. McGuffie and P. Pond) with contributions by Pete Brown, Edwin Morgan, Alan Riddell, Anslem Hollo, Gael Turnbull, Lorine Niedecker and three short poems by Finlay himself. This is an uber-rare item - hardly any exist on the open market. This example has been folded twice for storage has a rust mark on the front right of the cover in a white area, slight wear to left of back cover with browning along fold lines but is overall VG. Impossible to find on sale outside of a complete run of the periodical and even then hardly at all.
