The Pill Versus The Springhill Mine Disaster
San Francisco, CA: Four Seasons Foundation, 1968.
First edition, limited issue. Copy number 22 of 50, signed by Richard Brautigan on the rear colophon. [xii], 108, [2] pp. Bound in publisher's brown ribbed cloth with spine lettered in gilt over ochre boards. Fine with slightly bumped bottom corners in the original acetate jacket with small chips to spine ends. Poems by the late author of Trout Fishing in America. Readers of that work can appreciate its concise prose poem-like quality; Brautigan was surprisingly at home in the poetic form and his early poems, though obscure, are some of his strongest work.
Price: $3,500
