Edinburgh: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1966
9.7 x 138cm, 16pp (recto only). Original wrappers with printed mustard dust jacket. Small artist's book with childlike drawings Emil Antonucci, which are mostly visual puns by Finlay but also all are patches of some kind. Finlay has used the metaphor of a patch in many different works and formats - often as a symbol of the poverty or resourcefulness of rural communities. The print here is light blue and black on white. Murray has this as 3.20.
Another in the series of books which Finlay has entitled with the word Stripe in the title.

33 x 12cm, 8pp. The seventeenth number of Finlay’s poetry publication – this number dedicated to a single concrete poem by Robert Lax and with drawings by Emil Antonucci. VG+ condition Scarce.

This was an unusual format number of the poetry journal in part caused by the format of the Lax poem which needed more vertical space than traditional works.
