Edge City SIGNED COPY with a note to Armand Schwerner menitoning Kathy Acker

Self published book by San Diego poet Melvyn Freilicher, presumably his first book, which comes with a typed note to fellow poet Armand Schwerner stating "Kathy Acker suggested I send you this book, I hope you like it." Acker was a link between NY and San Diego at the time. The book is signed by Freilicher in black pen as well. Aprox 40pg of poems and illustrations, possibly by Mel, possibly by cover artist Wilhelmina Korevaar. Bound in wraps with black binding tape. Binding solid, with one small corner of tape a bit peeled back but hardly. Bumped at the bottom right corner of the cover and the duration of the book, but most felt at the cover. Besides the signature, all contents inside clean and without damage. Glossy covers clean as well, with some scratching and soiling to the back cover especially at the upper corner there is a small coffee stain. Indented in the back cover, only seen under bright light, is the formner address of Armand Schwerner, possibly left after Freileicher wrote his address on the original package in which this was contained. Now in mylar. Alongside the note, an interesting document of a poet who alongside his own work was involved with many fascinating poets and artists of the time, and who went on to a long career as an educator and writer in San Diego.…
