Horizontal crease throughout, as issued (folded for distribution). Paper is lightly age-toned, especially around edges and folds.

Also with an advertisement for "Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching" (Edited by Dave Foreman. Forward by Ed Abbey." Earth First! is a group of radical environmentalists that formed in the American Southwest in the spring of 1980, founded by Dave Foreman, Mike Roselle, Howie Wolke, Bart Koehler, and Ron Kezar, among others. Earth First! quickly came to national attention with their "cracking" of Glen Canyon Dam activist stunt, which was performed and filmed in the spring of 1981. Edward Abbey is considered to be the "literary father" of the group. "Earth First! is the beginning of the new, bold environmental movement. And 'Earth First! The Radical Environmental Journal' is its voice. No compromise in the defense of Mother Earth!" (Dave Foreman, Editor). Rear cover half-page illustration by Brush Wolf, dated '83, is entitled "It's Not Just Defense, It's Revenge" and depicts a grizzly bear with one of its paws stuck in a metal trap. Cover story is entitled "Forest Service Logs Texas Wilderness." Lengthy "Earth First! Directory!" printed on page 12. The centerfold spread (pages 16-17) feature is entitled "Professionalism: A Discussion" which features written perspectives on the matter of professionalism amongst environmentalists from Dave Foreman, Kirk Cunningham, Randal O'Toole, Reed Noss, Ed Clark, Gerald Meral, Ron Huber, and Jim Dale Vickery. Edward Abbey's contribution on page 26 is "Forward! To Ecodefense" which is the foreword of the (then) forthcoming book "Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching" - this, therefore, may be the first appearance of that Abbey text. A full-page ad for said "Ecodefense" volume follows on page 27. Full-page ads for "The 1985 Earth First! Calendar" (page 29), "Earth First! Trinkets & Snake Oil" (page 30), and "T-shirts." (page 31).
