Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED LIMITED EDITION. One of 1000 copies (though actually one of the few RARE PULPED ADVANCE COPIES, see below for details). From copyright/limitation page: "This edition of My Complete Graphics by John Olsen is limited to 1000 copies. Nos 1-100 are bound in leather and contain an original etching. This is number - " [and handwritten in red ink] "advance incorrected copy - not for sale". Floridly signed below in full in black ink by John Olsen. Handwritten in the same red ink below the printing/publishing details is "Paper wrong". See photographs. NOTE (from knowledgeable bookdealer, Doug Stewart): "My Complete Graphics was successfully released late in 1980, but not before a major disagreement between Olsen, publisher Richard Griffin and Australian Galleries where the book was launched at an earlier exhibition. Dissatisfaction with the quality of product (advance copies of which actually arrived late on the night of the launch) saw Griffin pull the book from sale, and pulp the entire edition. Only a handful of copies escaped this fate. The book was then reprinted and issued in a standard edition, and deluxe edition with signed etching." The National Library of Australia (via Trove) notes that only two or three suppressed copies survived after the entire original edition was pulped. This copy is one of the surviving suppressed copies. Trove also notes, regarding their copy: "This is the unique surviving copy of the suppressed first edition. Richard Griffin, the publisher, whose copy this was, has written a two-and-a-half page account of the suppression on two leaves of the preliminaries. He states that all copies were guillotined apart from the present one, extensively marked up and pasted up for the correct second edition". Foreword by John Olsen. Introduction by Lou Klepac. Numerous b&w illustrations & photographs throughout, plus 8 colour plates which are printed on different paper stock. With b&w photographic portrait frontispiece. Includes index of prints. From the author's introduction (in part): "This book is based on the complete collection of my prints which Stuart Purves assembled over the past decade. I began by writing pithy notes opposite each print, but soon felt a compulsion to do something more. I have therefore extracted from journals and notes and my memory the story as it happened to me". Printed in Australia. Bound in original maroon cloth with bright gilt lettering to spine, bright gilt design (by Olsen) to front board, colour illustrated endpapers, in publisher's original unclipped pictorial dustjacket. Slight handling wear, small closed tear (1.5cm) to rear middle panel of dustjacket, otherwise a nice clean tight solid hardcover copy. The dustjacket is now protected in a removable clear Bro-dart cover. 248pp. Large heavy book, extra shipping may be required. Scarce signed limited suppressed advance edition. RARE. Signed.
