Uncommon artists's book by Heliczer, who was one of the geniuses of the Mimeo Revolution, and whose Dead Language Press produced some of the most beautiful objects of the movement.
Price: $1,500.00
Young was a central figure throughout the 1960s NYC music and literary scenes. He founded the Folklore Center, produced Dylan's first concert in 1961 (Dylan even wrote a song for/about him, "Talking Folklore Center"), and helped Ed Sanders to print several items from from his Fuck You Press on the mimeo machine at the Center. A decidedly uncommon book with a unique and unusual association.
First Edition. (New York): (Dead Language Press), [1962]. Square 12mo. Stiff pink original printed pictorial wrappers (we've also seen this in orange wraps). Some minor rubbing and edge-wear. Touch of fading to spine and a few faint creases. Very good. [28]pp. PROVENANCE: Izzy Young's copy, with his contemporary ownership in- scription to inside rear cover: "Israel G. Young, 2-28-66, from the author, and kissed by the author on the front cover." And indeed: SIGNED by Heliczer at his printed name to rear cover (Young was mistaken about this) and KISSED three times by him with red lipstick impressions to same. Young was a central figure throughout the 1960s NYC music and literary scenes. He founded the Folklore Center, produced Dylan's first concert in 1961 (Dylan even wrote a song for/about him, "Talking Folklore Center"), and was close to Sanders, helping to print several titles from from his Fuck You Press on the mimeo machine at the Center.
