A finely printed literary chapbook excerpted from Richard Brautigan’s posthumously published collection I Watched the World Glide Effortlessly Bye and Other Pieces. This piece was written in Oregon in the mid-1950s and reflects Brautigan’s early surrealist and minimalist style.
Printed in November 1996 by artnoose, hand-set in Goudy, Cloister, and Times, and issued in a strictly limited edition of 326 copies, with 300 numbered and 26 lettered A–Z.
Produced as an insert for X-Ray Number 6 and distributed by James Musser (Skyline Books) and Burton Weiss. The chapbook is printed on blue paper stock with a tipped-in publisher announcement sheet describing the related deluxe Jungle Garden Press edition.
An excellent example of small-press Brautigan ephemera, appealing to collectors of post-Beat literature, fine press printing, and West Coast literary history.
