Hardcover. Condition: Fine condition. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dust jacket. First Printing of the First Edition. London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1977. 7.5" wide by 9.75" tall. Bright, clean, square, tight, unmarked copy. Sharp corners. Not a book club edition. No chips or tears. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. A study of "bad taste" in urban life, particularly in the North of England during the first half of the 20th century. Looks at some of the ways suburban dwellers can assert their "identity against encroaching respectability." From the Dust Jacket: "The main theme of their book is the extraordinary quality to be found in the leisure culture of the major cities: a popular aesthetic, made up of scraps and pieces of dead styles, clichéd ornaments and plundered pastiche, revamped and revitalized with startling vulgar vitality. The authors believe that this language of the commonplace, often called 'bad taste,' may reveal far more about the true nature of modern society." . First Printing of the First Edition. Oversize Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket.

Edwin Brock was poetry editor, and J. G. Ballard became fiction editor alongside, later, Geoff Nicholson. Henry Graham and Carol Ann Duffy joined Edwin Brock as poetry editors. Michael Foreman was art editor for 50 years. Across the magazine's history, Derek Birdsall (Omnific), Alan Kitching, John Morgan Studio and Stephen Barrett were notable designers.' (Wiki) ***'AMBIT started in '59; there were various impulses behind it. I'd been interested in the writer John Middleton Murray, who was married to Katharine Mansfield. He had run a magazine from about 1910 onwards for two or three years called Rhythm that attracted writers like D.H. Lawrence, and Katharine Mansfield of course. What was striking about it - you could look at it in the V&A library - was that Murray, who really knew nothing about art, had met a Scottish artist called Ferguson who was sending over from Paris artwork by "young" artists like Picasso, Miro, etc. They looked quite startling in this 1910 magazine. And the idea, that Murray never developed, of trying to produce a magazine that had literary and visual material really working together, came to me out of that. But the other initiatives were more simple. There weren't many magazines about then because the possibility of what everybody can do now -- produce a magazine from a 'desktop' in quite small numbers and for not very much money -- didn't exist. But electronic things were just starting to happen, and the first number of Ambit we partly set ourselves on a machine called a variotyper. It enabled us to paste down visual work of which we had some good drawings from an Australian artist, Oliffe Richmond, in this first number and enabled us to begin the notion of producing an arts magazine rather than the traditional poetry or Eng. Lit. magazine. I'd say there's still no magazine in the country that combines high class artwork, produced and found by Mike Foreman over the years, alongside writers who I think are exciting. (Martin Bax interview with 3:AM magazine) ***An early 90s edition of the magazine in very nice, collectable condition. Of interest to collectors of AMBIT and poetry magazines in general. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
