He also produced television programmes and made films. Johnson led and associated with a loose circle of "experimental" authors in Sixties Britain, who included Alan Burns, Eva Figes, Rayner Heppenstall, Ann Quin, Stefan Themerson and Wilson Harris, among others. Many of them contributed to London Consequences, a novel consisting of a palimpsest of chapters passed between a range of participating authors, edited by Margaret Drabble and Johnson. Johnson also made numerous experimental films, published poetry, and wrote reviews, short stories and plays. For many years he was the poetry editor of Transatlantic Review. [Wiki] ***'London Consequences is a 1972 group novel written by twenty writers published for the Festivals of London that year. ***Margaret Drabble and B. S. Johnson conceived and edited the novel "London Consequences". The editors wrote the first and last chapters together, and gave the other novelists involved a brief outline of the two main characters. Each author would write his or her chapter, then pass the accumulating manuscript onto the next author. The interior chapters are by Rayner Heppenstall, Eva Figes, Gillian Freeman, Jane Gaskell, Wilson Harris, Olivia Manning, Adrian Mitchell, Paul Ableman, John Bowen, Melvyn Bragg, Vincent Brome, Peter Buckman, Alan Burns, Barry Cole, Julian Mitchell, Andrea Newman, Piers Paul Read and Stefan Themerson. The published book did not identify authors' individual contributions. The G.L.A.A. (Greater London Arts Association) offered a prize of £100 to anyone who correctly identified each chapter's author. Entry forms appeared at the back of the book. Readers had until 11 Aug 1972 to enter.' [Wiki] ***First impression of the true first edition, published as a paperback original.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Limited Edition. Main volume: octavo, 10 1/4" by 6 3/4", 624 pages. Essay: same size, 44 pages. Photo-collages, same size, 86 accordion-fold pages. The type is Caslon Old Style, the face used for the first printings of Sterne's original nine volumes (1760-1767), in Monotype composition by Mackenzie-Harris, with larger sizes handset. The paper is a special making of all-cotton Curtis Ruysdael. Tipped-in marbled paper was specially made. The binding of the main volume is machine-sewn, with a dark green calf spine and corners, mabled paper sides, and gold spine titling. The essay volume is identical in production except it is bond in green paper over boards, with gold titling on the front. The accordion-fold volume of photo-collages and excerpts was printed by offset lithography on Curtis Bridgewater Cover paper and has green paper-covered boards with gold titling on the front cover, and a piece of folded green paper covering the fore-edge. All three volumes are in a single slipcase, covered in green paper with spine titling in gold. An extra suite of five large-scale lithographic prints was printed in black and eight colors of inks.

With 39 photo-collage illustrations and an extra suite of five lithographs by John Baldessari, in three volumes, with prospectus. Laurence Sterne (1713-1768) was an obscure country parson when he self-published the first two volumes of this novel in 1760. When he died eight years later, he was rich and famous, and his book, unlike any other work of English fiction, had garnered extravagent praise and abundant censure. He acknowledged inspiration in the writings of Rabelais, Cervantes, and Montaigne, but "Tristram Shandy" was and remains an original, provocative, and hilariously funny book. The text was highly unusual in its typographic presentation, and Arion Press went out of its way to be faithful to the details of the setting, which include asterisks for naughty words, a marbled page, and a black page. Please note that while this set is new, the leather back of the main volume does show a few very light, stray marks. ___POSTAGE: Please note that this set is extremely large and heavy, and additional postage may apply; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
