About This Item
Los Angeles: Press of the Pegacycle Lady, 1972. First, Limited Edition. One of 50 copies. Octavo (21.75cm); marbled paper-covered boards and beige cloth backstrip, with the text letterpress printed on Hayle Mill hand-made paper; [16]pp, with an original watercolor illustration by Forrest tipped onto the verso of the front endpaper. A few very faint foxed spots to covers, else very Near Fine. The third title produced by the Los Angeles-based fine press publisher, comprised of a single poem by Forrest. Victoria Dailey's bibliography of the press calls for 50 numbered and signed copies, with ten additional copies numbered with Roman numerals and bound with paper watercolored by the author; this one is unnumbered and unsigned - an overrun from the collection of Earle and Larry Gray, owners of the Earle Gray Book Binding Company, who were responsible for binding most of the books published by the Black Sparrow Press and a host of smaller California publishers. An elusive title.
