PACKING
We try to keep costs down and we are also aware of the effects of packing on the environment.

Where possible we try to recycle packaging materials. If you require new pristine packing boxes/envelopes (say for a gift) then please let us know.

Large posters are usually rolled and sent in firm tubes - if you require flat packing for any large item then please let us know on ordering:in such cases, there may be a surcharge to cover the extra costs.

Other items are send in appropriate packaging.

INSURANCE
We will cover all shipments with full loss insurance up to £250. Thereafter a surcharge is needed.

We will consider sending items without full insurance but this is at the purchaser’s decision and risk. If you wish us to do this then please indicate in writing what you want us to do.





Unoriginal Sins is an established venture trading in the field of the contemporary and modern avant garde movements from 1900 to the present day. We have a vast inventory of books, documents, artworks, ephemera, object multiples, LPs and other digital media as well as representing major collections from significant artists.

We trade almost entirely online - we purchase new material all the time and offer regular clients email lists (which you can sign up to here) of new arrivals. Soon after the distribution of those lists, new items are placed online so it is worth returning regularly to this site to see what new things are for sale.

It may be possible to visit in person and see our inventory but that is by appointment only - please email us. We can supply references for new clients should that be required.

We are always looking for new material to add to our stocks - we have a desiderata here but we are interested in all material that is similar to our core interests. Do get in touch.

POINT-BLANK 1. 1972.

£95.00

Berkeley: Point-Blank!, 1972

21 x 15cm, 100pp plus pictorial cover. First edition of this proto-situ American journal with articles (all collectively published and without any claim to copyright as was the usual practice amongst most proto-situ groups) including ‘Strange Defeat: The Chilean Revolution, 1973’, ‘Self management and the Spanish revolution’, ‘The show is over – theses on the end of the Cold War’, ‘Of sexual poverty’ and many more. Published by the most prominent of the Berkeley IS inspired groups (Ford indicates that there were around five such active groups), Point Blank obtained some notoriety by fly-posting the local university area with posters giving out the elected mayor’s number and with provocative statements such as ‘Did you ever feel like killing your boss?’. We believe only one number of this journal was ever published and this example is in near fine condition.

The wrappers have appropriated and detourned imagery on them – a pointing gun (from Dick Tracy) is on the front cover aiming point blank at the reader and on the back a Marvel comic frame of Thor has the speech bubble text: ‘To create a situation where man does not reproduce himself in any given form, but produces his totality; where he does not seek to remain something formed by the past, but is in the absolute movement of becoming!’ above the slogan ‘for a situationist revolution’. Very scarce.
