(Guy) Debord, "Tambours du jugement premier" by Dufrêne, "La légende cruelle" by Gabriel Pomerand, "L'Anticoncept" by Wolman and shorter articles by Y. du Luart, Serge Berna, Poucette, Monique Geoffroy.The plates show portraits of Isou, Poucette, Pomerand, Wolman, Berna, Y. du Luart,  M.

Minor wear to edges and spine with minor tears. Internally pages are browned (as always). The cover is in excellent condition with no fading as the book has been kept in a glassine envelope. The book was lent to the filmmaker Christian Jamicot by Gil Wolman and on the book's return Jamicot has left a signed note to Wolman in ink thanking him on the glassine envelope. A correspondence copy and in much better condition than usually found. The glassine envelope is somewhat torn but still protects the book.

21 x 15cm, 40pp plus wrappers, A single number (6) of this Belgium surrealist journal founded by Marien with articles by Paul Nouge, Guy Debord ("Introduction a une critique de la geographie urbaine"), Ganchina, Gilbert Senecaut, and Marcel Marein. VG++.

.5 x 12.5 m.; black ink on yellow - a small pappillion written by Debord and Bernstein with a text in French: “Rarement la carence intellectuelle et la veulerie morale d’une génération perdue ont été si manifestes que dans cette irritante jeunesse, aussi étrangère à tout art véritable qu’à l’enthousiasme nouveau de la rénovation française, qui affiche chaque soir son mépris des valeurs occidentales et sa malsaine tristesse à "La Méthode", de la rue Descartes” This is usually translated as : "Seldom have the intellectual deficiency and moral cowardice of a lost generation been so manifest as they are in this irritating youth. It is as divorced from any true art as it is in the new enthusiasm brought about by French renovation. Every evening, this youth displays its contempt for Western values and its unhealthy sadness at "La Méthode", de la rue Descartes". The small leaflet promoted not only Debord's cynicism but also the bar that he and Bernstein ran for less than a month from 10 to 29 October 1958. VG+. Rare.

8.5 x 13.5cm, black on yellow street leaflet/sticker. The promotional device used by Debord and others to recruit for this grouping - a split from Isadore Isou's Lettriste group and the forerunner of the Situationiste Internationale. Fine condition. Rare.

This is in near mint condition with only a few slithers of the sandpaper coming away on the dustjacket on the bottom right of the front dj.

Despite 500 of the book being published this is a rare item.

30.8 x 23.8cm, 2pp. Black on green (Ca commerce bien!) and red on white (Familiers¦) - a double sided tract. The rare re-issue of this attack on the bourgeois appropriation of Rimbaud by critics on the centenary of the poet's birth as signed by Bedouin, Benayoun, Dax, Flamond, Goldfayn, Hantai, Lebreton, Legrand, Mitrani, Paalen, Peret, Pierre, Reigl, Schuster, Seghers, Toyen and Valore for the surrealist group (mostly those around Phases) and Michele Bernstein, Mohamed Dahou, Guy Debord, Jacques Fillon and Gil Wolman for the International Lettristes.

The original publication of the tract was produced only a few months beforehand but the surrealists had second thoughts and immediately withdrew their support for the text  (which had been originally written by one amongst their own number and signed as an act of solidarity by Debord etc). The surrealists apparently felt the text to be too leftist despite the original being from their own hand! Hence the reissue here by the the Surrealist Group with an additional printing on the back of the text: "Familiers du grand truc"  where many of the same signatories (now with Breton's name significantly added along with Meret Oppenheim and Nora Mitrami amongst others) denounced their former signatories in harsh terms (suggesting scandalously that they were Stalinists and future participants in Moscow show trials).

One closed paper tear (0.6 x 0.8cm) bottom right which does not affect the texts on either side and wear and tear around margins.

This is a rare publication in any condition from the early debates that led clearly to formation of the International Situationists after the splits of the 50s and 60s within the avant garde.

24.5 x 21cm, 28pp  plus pictorial wrappers reproducing the English IS leaflet s "Danger! Official secret RSG-6".

This is the extremely rare exhibition catalogue for the show of the same title: "Destruction af RSG-6: En Kollektiv Manifestation af Situationistik International" organised by Jeppesen Victor Martin in co-ordination with Michèle Bernstein, Guy Debord and Jan Strijbosch. Alongside b./w photographic portraits of Debord, Bernstein, J.V. Martin, and Jan Strijbosch there are three b/w reproductions of details from works by Bernstein (a painting of the Paris Commune) and Martin.

Debord also contributed a text "Les Situationnistes et les nouvelles formes d'action dans la politique et dans l’art" which is translated from the French into English and Danish.This is a VG example with only minor browning to the wrappers and internally near fine. Rare as we say.

(1968) 

24 x 16cm, 1pp. Poster/leaflet - typographic only with the title text - printed black on white. Offset. The extremely hard to find small poster issued by the Internationale Situationiste led Conseil pour le maintein des occupations. By this stage in the Parisian student revolt the IS section led by Debord had seized their moment and moved into the Sorbonne and taken over the Conseil pour le maintein des occupations by sheer force of argument and by wearing their opponents down by abuse and aggression (and the odd threat of physical intimidation). Fine and exceptionally rare.
