Stories.
Joe DiMaggio Press, 1973. Item #4345
Side-stapled mimeograph in pink wrappers. Cover by Baxter. A collection of brief prose pieces, akin to prose poems, by the cartoonist. Noted as his third book by the bibliography printed on the interior of the back cover, which also includes a list of magazines in which his work has appeared.
This copy is from the library of Larry Goodell, the poet and publisher of Duende Press, and is housed in a manila envelope with Goodell's rubber stamp to the top left corner. It is inscribed to him on the title page: "For my chum Larry / at his desk / in America."
This is no. 46 from an edition of 175 copies.
Very good. A toning band across the top of the front cover and a shallow bend at the top left-hand corner. The entire book has two shallow vertical creases running down the center, likely from reading or folding by Fagin. There is light soiling following the lines of these creases on the back cover.
An nice association copy.
