THE FLOATING BEAR: A NEWSLETTER. NUMBERS 1-37, 1961-1969. 1973 FACSIMILE REPRINT BOUND IN BOARDS.

La Jolla: Laurence McGilvery, 1973

27.2 x 20.7cm, 578pp plus 20pp additional pages. Bound in dark blue library buckram. A facsimile reprint of all 37 issues of the mimeographed artistic and literary small journal published between 1961 and 1969. with an ‘Introduction and Notes Adapted from Interviews with Diane di Prima’. Colours are in b/w (some of the Bears’ covers were in blue for instance) but this is a very useful reference given the originals were only published in around 250 copies so entire runs are very hard to find. This is in mint condition and in itself now a scarce publication. VG+.
