[New York: Self-published], [1982]. Corner stain to wrappers of final volume, else a fine set. All contents housed in original plastic zippered bag with printed label to front, which is further INSCRIBED by Ess ("For Jean-Noel / xxxx / B. Ess") with date of 11/5/82. Scarce, with single OCLC record located at NYPL.. First Edition. Octavo. A conceptual, ten-volume suite of zines from photographer, musician, editor, and educator Barbara Ess, with fully-illustrated contents ranging from 12 to 20 pages. With a subtle nod towards On Kawara's Today series of date paintings, Ess here trains her sight on what happened yesterday—illustrating simple yet expressive vignettes relating to war, sports, crime, entertainment; a ritual transformation of the daily paper into something mythical. Contents: self-wrappers (8.5. x 5.5 inches), ranging from 12 to 20 pages; each SIGNED (B. Ess) to rear cover.
