About This Item
Point Reyes, CA & Kathmandu, India: Eidolon Editions, 1976. First printing. (33) pp., 7.5 x 10.5 inches. Saddle-stapled pamphlet glued into printed paper covered boards. Drawings by Josie Grant.
The colophon states that "LOBA Part II was printed for Eidolon Editions by Dreamweapon in the Kingdom of Nepal, being the 24th printing of the Independent Presses of Kathmandu, in an edition of 550 copies of which 50 hardbound are numbered and signed by the author and the artist." This copy is numbered 15, and is signed by di Prima and Grant.
In a copy of the book inscribed to Robert Wilson, the author notes that "Of the proposed 50 hardbound copies, 36 were usable, numbered 1-36, and 9 others, with binding flaws were numbered A-I & used as presentation copies by author & artist. Diane di Prima." This would then be one of thirty-six, rather than fifty, copies.
A fine copy of a handsome and delicate book, and quite scarce in the limited edition.
