Fifty pamphlets in all, comprising the complete numbered catalogue of this important avant-garde series, 1976-84.

Numbers 1-10 printed by Willits Printing; number 11 no printing statement; numbers 12-50 all printed hand letterpress by the publisher Lyn Hejinian. Many of the letterpress numbers have decorative covers. A handful of the numbers are author-inscribed to a third party. All of the pamphlets are staple-bound, in Fine condition. Hejinian was a central figure in the Language School group/movement, and this list includes nearly all of those figures, in addition to others only peripherally identified. A difficult series to assemble, especially in this condition; to acquire individual numbers would be comparatively expensive. Further details upon request. Q12153.…
