Wallpaper, nos. 5/6. June 1976.
Item #4226
Saddle-stitched in wallpaper wrappers. The fifth and six issues, published as a double issue, of the British- and New York-based little magazine of poetry, art, and writing, readily identifiable by the wallpaper used as wraps for each issue. Published collectively by the editors between 1974 and 1977 across seven issues (though there were plans for 10). Editorial duties shifted across issues with the first four issues containing an equal number of works by the editors; in this double issue, per the masthead, "each editor has invited either one or two guests to share his/her [the editors'] space equally." Though not stated as such, this copy is from the library of contributor Fiona Templeton.
Contributors include Richard Bernas, Susan Bonvin, Paul Buck, D.L. Busenburg, David Coxhead, Daniel Dahl, Andrew Eden, Allen Fisher, Harley Gaber, June Green, Susan Hiller, Carla Liss, Anthony McCall, Stephen Montague, Annabel Nicolson, Richard Quarrell, Phillipa Rogers, Carolee Schneeman [sic], John Sharkey, Richard Shone, Fiona Templeton, The Ting, Lynne Tillman, Amikam Toren, John Welch, and Anthony Howell (Howell's name has been tipped on at the end of the list, though he appears alphabetically within the magazine; the title of his poem has been tipped onto the title page of his work, as well).
This is from an unstated edition size.
Very good, with wallpaper wrappers showing shelf wear and edge wear. There is a closed, 1/2 in. tear at the top of the spine and a bump at the bottom. The interior remains clean.
