First edition. "Gloster City, CA" [i.e. Healdsburg]: Fester Stasis [i.e. Zephyrus Image], 1977. Johnston describes this "truly silly" item: "Folger's is a flip book with a bright red cover imitating the logo on cans of Folger's coffee. The very tenuous connection was that Folger's slogan was 'it's mountain-grown' (ergo Black Mou…ntain), and their television spokesperson was a motherly housewife called Mrs. Olsen. The book (entirely done from Myers' artwork) shows Charles Olson in front of a weather map rubbing his index finger over his lip in the gesture that people make to amuse babies. It was a massive amount of work for a one-line joke. Zephyrus Image was skilled at concocting such puns, but turning them into beautifully crafted artifacts belied the whimsy with which such notions usually appear and disappear in conversation." Johnston, pp. 120, 209.

First edition. [8] pp. Folded sheets, bible paper issue. Folded twice; fine copy. Johnston notes, "While it looks like a newspaper, Bean News is full of in-jokes that are hard to decipher." The Zephyrus Image archives at the University of Delaware: Bean News is "an unconventional newspaper that combined letters, articles, poems,… puns, and rebuses while experimenting in art, typography, and layout. Poets Ed Dorn, Tom Raworth, Tom Clark, Jeremy Prynne, Michael McClure, Luis Garcia, and others submitted copy, and Bean News became an item of intrigue in the San Francisco small press community." Johnston, Zephyrus Image, pp. 76, 177. Streeter, Ed Dorn, B22.

Condizione: Fine. Zephyrus Image Collection A gathering of more than 30 books, broadsides, a portfolio and ephemera from the legendary press, the letterpress punks of the 1970's. It includes several rare items, including the Kent State Portfolio which features the first print appearance of Devo, as well as collaborations with be…at poets such as Ed Dorn and Tom Raworth. The condition of most items is fine, with some exceptions which are noted below. Note: the description below is truncated - a complete and detailed listing is available by request. 1. [Devo] 1974 Kent State Creative Arts Festival Portfolio. San Francisco and Ohio: Zephyrus Image, 1974. First edition. 9 1/2 x 13 5/16" folder, illustrated at the front panel after a photograph by Ellen Mann, with ZI insign printed in green at rear panel, containing nine broadsides of varying dimensions. The Kent State Creative Arts Festival was created as a reaction against the Kent State shootings, which is often cited as the formative impetus for Devo. The band's first public performance had been at the festival the year prior, and their performance at the festival in 1974 was either their first or second show, featuring the line-up of Bob Lewis, Mark Mothersbaugh, Jim Mothersbaugh, and the Casale brothers. The Michael Myers bee linocut which graces this and several of the other broadsides was created in San Francisco and brought to Kent, where the broadsides were printed. Zephyrus Image were probably involved in the event due to the agency of Ed Dorn, who was on faculty at the time. The pairing of Myers' delicate and inimitable linocut work with the quirky pathos of Devo is sublime. The text instructs the viewer to supply their own waltz rhythm as the piece is read, making it a DIY performance piece - a broadside where you, the reader, are in the band. The portfolio also contains broadsides by Jennifer Dunbar, Ines Brolaski, Joanne Kyger, Barbara Einzig, Ed Dorn (2), Joel Oppenheimer, and Samuel Fuller. All are beautiful, especially those by Dorn, where each line of the work is typeset in a different font, and film-maker Samuel Fuller, who contributes a haunting text on the relationship between between typography and cinema which begins, "The language of type moves with flesh today." The text is overlayed onto a photograph of someone pushing a lawnmower (Johnston identifies the figure as Bing Crosby). [Johnston pp. 79-81, 199-200] Rare. The broadsides are in fine condition with the exception of the Kyger broadside, which is near fine with some creasing to margins. The folder is fine. [32189] 2. Raworth, Tom. Common Sense. Healdsburg: Zephyrus Press, 1976. First edition. 3 1/2 x 5 1/2" spiral bound notebook. Letterpress printed on 18 leaves of blue-lined notebook paper, preceded by and followed by a single leaf of beige newsprint - the latter upon which is illustrated with a linocut illustration of a salt shaker by Myers. Further illustrated with three found zinc-prints of business men. One of the most charming of all the Zephyrus titles, Common Sense strikes a brilliant balance between commercial and fine printing methods and scavenged means. After the leaves were printed, they were sent out and commercially spiral bound. There is a linocut print of a price at the rear cover. The intent was to mimic commercial notebooks found for cheap in drugstores, so that readers could read poetry in public without ostentation. The usual offsetting from the newsprint within, along with some spots of discoloration to 4 pp within and the card stock on back cover, otherwise bright and very good, the covers being particularly bright and well-preserved.

N.p. [San Francisco], n.p. [Zephyrus Image], no expiry, n.p., 1975. £750.00 Top left corner of stapled label torn with loss, the untrimmed one fine. Bag in very good condition. A fragile ephemeron that is rare in commerce and institutionally with 6 copies only on OCLC and all of those in the USA. In Johnston pp-202-203 with discussion on pp-99-101 (illustrated on p-101). A bag in the Ludlow Santo Domingo Library. Provenance: Holbrook Teter's archive via Serendipity to the British booktrade. Ingenious satire directed at one of the most eminent and respected literary spokesmen on ecological consciousness and western Buddhism. The Beat poet won a Pulitzer Prize in 1975 for his work ?Turtle Island' i.e. the traditional Native American name for the U.S.A. The '.staunch anti-Hippies.' (p-203 Johnston) of the '.Zephyrus Image crew derided his marketing of zen consciousness.' (p-101 ibid) the design of his books and the '.back-to-nature poetry and affectation of Native American ways' (op cit.). The designer Michael Myers took great pains to reproduce the trademark calligraphic signature in a, to paraphrase Johnston, Lloyd Reynolds, Reed College Graduate style. This is an institution that Snyder had graduated from in 1951. These packets were largely distributed in 'guerrilla' actions by mixing them in with other nuts in Geary Boulevard convenience stores and selling them for 25¢. apiece. It is doubtful that many packets survived beyond the point of sale as the purchaser would almost inevitably discard them. Especially so when you consider the fact that some of these packages contained fragments of peyote and '.two six point em quads' (p-101 ibid). 132205.
