DIE KAKAUSENER GEMEINE. 1968. DEDICATED, SIGNED & DATED BY ROTH FOR JOE TILSON.

Stuttgart: Edition Hansjorg Mayer, 1968

43 x 33cm,  12pp self cover – a serialised novel by Roth in the form of a newspaper. A large graphic work extensively annotated throughout with integrated text and images by Roth. This copy is uniquely signed by Roth “For Joe, from Dieter, London Dec ’68” in ink on the lower left. ‘Joe’ was Joe Tilson, the pop artist. One thousand copies were originally printed. 

Previously folded into four for storage there is heavy wear (but no tears) along the folds and a small tear in the centre of the front cover where they cross which is repeated on a few of the internal pages where the folds also crossed. Otherwise a very good association copy of a scarce Roth bookwork.
