[Johnson 184]. Broadside, 8.75" by 6.5" approx. Near fine. Bottom-right corner shows hint of foxing and trivial touch of wear. Else clean, sharp.…

First edition. 6 x 4 1./2", 21 pp. Stab-stapled in card covers. A flipbook literary takedown in the spirit of Pine Nuts, but this time aimed at Charles Olson. The book reproduces drawings by Myers of Olson standing in front of a weather map. When the book is flipped he moves his finger back and forth over his lips, mimicking a familiar action used to get babies to laugh. The phrase "Black Mountain Groan" puns on the relationship to the Black Mountain School and their spokesman at that time. Johnston p. 209. Very good with a crease along staple line, some minor wear and indenting to covers and a slight bit of play at lower staple on back cover.…

In Johnston p-208 (illustrated) who collates for blue Tweedweave wrappers only. Commercially one of the scarcest and most sought after of Zephyrus Image ephemera. Provenance: from Holbrook Teter's archive with the old Maggs pencil stock number in back. The cover title is Dade County Bible , referring to '.Anita Bryant ? the former Miss America and spokesperson for Florida's frozen juice industry [who was] also the vocal leader of an infamous anti-gay campaign in Dade County, Florida' (p-128 Stephen Vincent in Johnstone). The flipbook starts with a small black cross that, when flipped, trans- forms into a swastika. Teter used a form of situationist style street theatre to distribute them in the Haight, vending them from an ice-cream or cigarette girl's tray in the Castro, bastion of gay civil rights, even selling two to Harvey Milk for 50¢ apiece (p-130 ibid). 134642. …

Condition: Very good. First Edition. Original broadside printing of Michael Myers's iconic FORD, making the beginning of his collaboration with Teter and the first item issued from Zephyrus Image. Alastair Johnston, in his ZEPHRYUS IMAGE: A Bibliography, describes how Myers arrived at Teter's print shop with "a linoleum block depicting a Hippie Jesus in front of car radiators brandishing a crucifix wrench. Teter knew at once he wanted to work with Myers. They printed broadsides with the block [.] and Teter drove Myers back to Berkeley where they pasted them on the walls of the City dump [.] This approach would signal the future for Zephyrus Image" (21).
