First Edition
First edition. Hardcover 4to in red linen boards foil stamped in gold along spine laid inside a pictorial dust jacket printed in maroon and orange. Pages printed in black on off white paper. Unpaginated. Artists' book by Bern Porter featuring a comprehensive collection found poems consisting of appropriated advertisements, scientific charts, product diagrams, newspaper articles, and imagery assembled into a new narrative. One of Porter's more iconic books handsomely published by Dick Higgins at Something Else Press. The first in a planned seven-part series consisting of 'Found Poems,' 'The Book of Do's,' 'Here Comes Everybody's Don't Book,' 'Sweet End,' 'The Book of Light,' 'The Devil's Wishbone,' and 'The Porter Book,' with the last three remaining unpublished. Select founds from this book also appear in a new Bern Porter book titled 'Now It Can Be-Why Did It Fail Before?' published by The Idea of the Book fall of 2023. Trace amounts of rubbing to dust jacket, including some wear around jacket extremities. Very good or better.
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition. Quarto (11" x 8.75"); unpaginated; full red cloth, red topstain, in dust jacket. Signed, dated, and inscribed by Porter on the half-title to Gerard [Dombrowski], founder of Abyss Publications, who issued a number of Porter's (and also Something Else Press founder Dick Higgins') works. Laid in are a cardstock announcement about the book, as well as a business card-sized "compliments of the editors" card, with hand-corrected mailing address for Something Else Press. Arguably Porter's best known work, Found Poems consists of images and text culled from mass-media--recipes, diagrams, advertisements, graphics--and rearranged in a suggestive manner that resists easy interpretation. A very good copy. Softening and light sunning at spine ends; slight spine-twist. Unclipped jacket is lightly sun-faded along the spine panel, with short closed tears at the tips and curling and slight wear along the edges. Inscribed by Author(s).
