ON WIELDING THE SUBVERSIVE SCALPEL

[Berkeley]: np, 1970. First Edition. Very good.. Published anonymously by Ken Knabb and others, including Isaac Cronin, under the name Council for the Eruption of the Marvelous. Throughout 1970, the group produced this and several pamphlets; the present work is illustrated throughout with drawings, and typographically laid out like poetry. "We see subversion as a sort of phenomenological scalpel, cutting through the surface of the spectacle of the commodity & bringing to light all the most subtle presuppositions on which the society is based." OCLC finds only one copy. Wraps. 8vo. Saddle-stapled pictorial wraps. Very good. Moderate toning, touches of soil, and handling wear to wraps. Interior clean throughout, though lightly creased throughout. 16pp.
