Nrs 1 and 2 with tape over staples, the third only stapled. The first of an annual art and agit-prop resource for artists who were also activists. During the early 70s the Art Lab Movement encouraged a new radical co-ordination and co-operation between art workers and one of the most important aspects of this was the sharing of contacts and information.
