Washington, DC: Black Sun Press, 1946. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Volume III, Spring 1946. Complete in 31 broadsides (numbered 1-28, with Book reviews, plus "Cover Leaf" and "Foreleaf") in fragile yellow wraps with pockets. One of approximately 1000 copies. Krumhansl 1. Very Good overall. Wraps, as is typical, are in fair shape-- split, foxed, and chipped. Occaisional corner bumping, edge chipping, and slight creasing to broadsides; foxing spot on TOC page. Bukowski broadside lightly foxed with a bit of edge wear. Apart from being a literary magazine composed of beautifully-printed broadsides with Henry Miller as its prose editor, this issue is quite scarce complete, featuring contributions from such 20th Century luminaries as Henry Miller, Sartre, Boyle, Genet, Garcia Lorca, Rexroth, and the first separate publication of Charles Bukowski, preceding his first book, Flower, Fist and Bestial Wail, by 14 years.
