(Wiki) ***'AMBIT started in '59; there were various impulses behind it. I'd been interested in the writer John Middleton Murray, who was married to Katharine Mansfield. He had run a magazine from about 1910 onwards for two or three years called Rhythm that attracted writers like D.H. Lawrence, and Katharine Mansfield of course. What was striking about it - you could look at it in the V&A library - was that Murray, who really knew nothing about art, had met a Scottish artist called Ferguson who was sending over from Paris artwork by "young" artists like Picasso, Miro, etc. They looked quite startling in this 1910 magazine. And the idea, that Murray never developed, of trying to produce a magazine that had literary and visual material really working together, came to me out of that. But the other initiatives were more simple. There weren't many magazines about then because the possibility of what everybody can do now -- produce a magazine from a 'desktop' in quite small numbers and for not very much money -- didn't exist. But electronic things were just starting to happen, and the first number of Ambit we partly set ourselves on a machine called a variotyper. It enabled us to paste down visual work of which we had some good drawings from an Australian artist, Oliffe Richmond, in this first number and enabled us to begin the notion of producing an arts magazine rather than the traditional poetry or Eng. Lit. magazine. I'd say there's still no magazine in the country that combines high class artwork, produced and found by Mike Foreman over the years, alongside writers who I think are exciting.'

Two volume set featuring full twelve month run for 1880 of The Atlantic Monthly. Each hardcover, H 24.5cm x L 16.25cm, uniformly bound in half-leather bindings - black leather spines and black cloth boards with black leather corners; both volumes with bindery tickets "Keim, Roesli & Co., | Book Binders | and | Blank Book Manf. | 314 Olive St., St. Louis." on front pastedown of XLV and on rear pastedown of XLVI. Bindings are likely quite contemporary to the volumes as Keim, Roesli & Company is listed in an 1879 St. Louis city directory. Spines decorated with four slightly raised bands and gilt stamping with latter having some flaking loss but otherwise still bright; both volumes have slender shallow leather loss at both their lower and upper front and rear joints but bindings remain firm. Edges toned with a few small stains; past owner's name in pencil at top of each volumes' page 1; mild toning and occasional light foxing to interior leaves. VOLUME XLV JAN.-JUNE 1880: i-iv, 1-860 pages; wide swath of strong surface abrasion to front board with slender area of similar abrasion at fore-edge area of rear board; cloth loss at board edges too with rear board's bottom leather corner worn; pages 149-182 have shallow dings/short tears at their bottom margins. VOLUME XLVI JULY-DEC. 1880: i-iv, 1-868 pages; nicks to spine head; faint dark mottling to rear board; strong slender abrasion at both boards' bottom leather corners. Still an attractive set despite first volume's marred exterior cloth. Whereas bookseller tickets for 19th century St. Louis are not too unusual, contemporary bookbindery tickets are quite uncommon. The two volumes feature contributions by Mark Twain, William Dean Howells, Robert Louis Stevenson, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, John Burroughs, John Greenleaf Whittier, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes [Sr], among many others. Please note that this set has an approximate shipping weight of 6.5 pounds (2.94 kg) and will require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail.…

FIRST EDITIONS, various illustrations, some with a small amount of colour-printing, the odd faint spot, pp. 81; 81; 81; 96, 4to, original wrappers, a little rubbed, the inside covers of first volume faintly foxed, backstrip of final volume a little nicked at foot, this last with a little fading to covers, a touch of corner-creasing, very good condition overall. Girodias's journal has, as one might expect, a preoccupation with censorship, which probably explains its short-lived nature - indeed, the 'Apology', in the nature of a defence, that begins the penultimate number confirms its troubles with the authorities. As well as the excerpts from the Press's own books - including Burroughs, Harriet Daimler, Donleavy's 'The Ginger Man', Miller's 'Sexus' - there is a column by Terry Southern, 'Spy's Corner', in the first three issues, an article on chastity belts by Henry Crannach, selections from Robert Giraud's photographs of French criminal tattoos, and erotic postcards from the same collection, and instructions by Brion Gysin on how to construct your own 'Dream Machine'. Uncommon as a complete set.…

"Edited and published in New Orleans by Jon Edgar and Louise "Gypsy Lou" Webb, The Outsider was lavishly (one imagines even maniacally) produced by letterpress with a wide range of interesting and unusual materials. Yet in spite of its formal sophistication, it still manifests the indomitable spirit of the mimeo revolution by virtue of its devotion to such writers as Charles Bukowski and Kenneth Patchen, both of whom were recipients of the "Outsider of the Year" award" (Clay & Phillips, p.50). Contents include contributions by Bukowski, William S. Burroughs, Robert Creeley, Anselm Hollo, Harold Norse, Michael McClure, Carl Solomon, Kenneth and Miriam Patchen, Henry Miller, Diane Wakoski, and others. Dorbin C189-191.…

Condition: Very Good +. First Edition. Storrs, CT & Stockton, CA: Wormwood Review / Books & Magazines, 1960-1999. First Editions. Complete run of 146 issues in 137 octavo volumes; stapled illustrated wraps. Rubbing to edges; occasional heavier wear and staining predominantly to earlier issues; overall Very Good or better. A full run of what was called "The greatest little magazine of all time," by writer and poet Alan Kaufman. In a retrospective included in the final issue, the editor tells of the bare bones operation that led to the first issue. "The press was housed in a barn on Wormwood hill. Its electric motor was defunct, so it had to be operated by spinning the flywheel by hand. To print, considerable physical effort was needed along with expert timing. The barn was drafty and the weather cold, so the editors/publishers/printers of the first issue had to be fueled with generous amounts of gin. The gin may explain the crooked placement of the text in many copies." The little magazine would run for nearly 40 years, publishing household names and underground legends along the way. Number 9 notably includes a mimeographed copy of the "Malone Manifesto" broadside for little mags, which had appeared in Mainstream earlier that year. A few selections: b) to publish new writers, who for various reasons don't fit into the mass consumption mold, and yet have the ability to communicate something valid. f) to publish material, ideas and concepts which the masses are not ready to digest, cannot digest, will not digest, but will slowly accept as the more adventurous 'slicks' begin to catch the drift and copy. h) to keep alive the rich American tradition of ironic, intelligent, baiting humor (yes, baiting; not biting). n) enough, enough. but above all. to be alive and provocative, OK? An updated and edited version of the above appear as Malone's "ten commandments" in the final issue. No complete runs in retail at time of this writing.
