Description
Self Published 1962. First edition, second state, with overstruck obscenities. Good. Edgewear and rubbing. Light moisture discoloration to cover and interior pages. Faint staining to cover. Spine is torn on ends. This is the first book by Bruce.
In addition to offering the book for sale at his concerts, Bruce gave copies to Lawrence Ferlinghetti to sell at City Lights Bookstore. When he became entangled in obscenity trials, Bruce had the profanity crossed out in copies in fear that the book could be used against him in the coming trial. He later wrote to Ferlinghetti asking him to destroy all surviving copies. This is the second issue of the book, with some words x'd out. An interesting work involving censorship and freedom of the press. Including
The Pot-Smokers;
How Dirty Is Your Toilet; A Chippie Off the Old Block; Archaeological Stroke Books; The Bust.
