Basel: Galerie Bruno Bischofberger, 1967 25 x 17.5cm, 32pp (self cover). Black on white paper. The third number of this artist's journal (4 = ALL) and artist's book published by Daniel Spoerri and Kichka Baticheff during the period 1966 to 1967 under the title of the "Nothing Else Review" (a joke based on Higgin's Something Else Press). Issue number 3 includes original and reprinted writings by Michel Foucault, Mircea Eliande, Fiodor Dostoiewsky, Micchel Volonakis, Levi-Strauss, H.G. Wells, Joyce M. Stubbes, Ali Bab and others. Spoerri includes a long essay - Dissertation sur le ou la Keftedes - which includes a recipe for "Simi Christmas Pudding" which may well be delicious. A near fine example.

ROUSSEAU JUGE DE JEAN JAQUES DIALOGUES. 1962. INTRODUCTION BY FOUCAULT

Paris: Librarie A. Colin, 1962

18 x 11.5cm. 338pp. Printed wrappers. First edition thus of this keynote work from the seminal French philosopher and quintessential 'man of feeling' of the Romantic period. Here, Foucault contributes an 18 pages preface; surely routed through the like discursive methodology, which resulted in his first published work 'Histoire de la Folie a L'Age Classique' (1961) and his dissertation 'Maladie Mentale et Personalite'. Minor sunning to spine, else a very good example. Uncommon.
