Published by Self-published by the author / Donald & Alice Schenker, San Francisco, 1957
Paperback. [56p.] 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches. One of 500 copies, so noted on rear cover in one of the more colorful limitations you will read: ". privately printed . in an edition of 500 copies, 25 of which are bound by hand and signed by the authors and 5 of which are signed and stained with the blood of each poet." This copy, alas, one of the unsigned and unbloodied. Black fabric tape spine. "Poetry" by Donald Schenker followed by "Poems" by David Meltzer. Variously reported as being printed in 1957, 1958, even 1960, in David Schenker's second book ("Say X"), a 1957 date is given for this publication which agrees with the majority of listings on-line and most OCLC copies and that's good enough for us! Meltzer's first book as well, preceding his 1959 first solo book effort ("Ragas"). Wear to edges including some fraying to tape at top and bottom of spine. Covers soiled.

Paperback. [56p] 5.25x8.5 inches, handwritten No. 115 of 500 Off signed David Meltzer on Meltzer's title page, worn and soiled, stapled glossy white wraps with black cloth tape spine. Colophon on rear cover reads: "This book was set by hand in Garamond type & printed privately by Donalsd and Alice Schenker at 1017 De Haro Street in San Francisco in an edition of 500 copies 25 of which are bound by hand and signed by the authors and 5 of which are signed and stained with the blood of each poet" This copy belies that statement as it is #115 so not one of the 25 and is only signed by Meltzer. David Meltzer's first publication. Donald and Alice Schenker were co-founders of The Print Mint.
