Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A set six of the avant-garde periodical Assembling. Instead of selecting from submissions presented to it, Richard Kostelanetz (and, at various times, Henry James Korn, Mike Metz, Scott Helmes, and David Cole) invited potential contributors to submit a thousand copies of whatever they wanted to include, which were then alphabetically assembled into 8.5 by 11 inch books. Published by Ghilbmessa Inc. (First number) and then by Assembling Press, New York between 1970-1981. Edition of 1000. Overall excellent, well-preserved copies with minor edge-wear and age-toning, some mildly bumped corners, oversized pages in some issues creased at fore-edges. Very Good or better with no major flaws, no internal markings - all in custom protective mylar. Notably - front panel of Issue 1, which is printed on lighter paper than subsequent issues, has small closed tears at the staples - loosely attached thus. Issue 4 has a closed, diagonal tear with creasing at the spine near bottom edge - not affecting binding. Please inquire for further, thorough descriptions of condition of individual issues. Issue 1 (1970) features mixed-media contributions from Edward Ruscha (Chocolate smear by the artist), Dan Graham, Bernadette Mayer, Vito Acconci, Madeline Gins, Arakawa, Hannah Weiner, Robert Lax et al.

No Binding. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Halle (Salle), East Germany: UNI/vers (;), 1994. Assembling edited by Guillermo Deisler from his home in East Germany from 1987-1995. Each issue is an edition of 100, each artist contributing receiving an issue.

Issue 33 comes enclosed in a shallow cardboard box with a string affixed to front, 31 hand stamped in red and a UNI/vers (;) pastedown as well as stickers.
