Paperback. First Edition, unstated. Very Good+ to Near Fine in Wraps: shows only very minor indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; a crease near the upper front corner; the light beige background field has been very lightly sunned at the backstrip, along the front hinge and at the outside edge of the rear panel,… and along the top edge of the front panel (the titles remain unaffected, bold and clearly legible); shows the mildest rubbing; else flawless. Binding square and secure; text clean. No longer pristine and showing some minor defects: remains structurally sound and tightly bound, showing only mild wear: remains close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Oblong 32mo. 204pp. Illustrated by Paul Collins. Frank Davey and Jari Brodie, [Editors]First Edition, unstated. Paperback: Pictorial Wraps. Opal L. Nations has been well-known to readers of alternative press publications in England, Canada, and the United States. Poet, Fictioneer, Concrete Poet, "pataphysician", publisher, and performance artist, his work in every genre has demonstrated his original, multifaceted, fanciful imagination. He has become a veritable embodiment of the postmodern mind. He has been especially noted for the sardonic "pataphysical" pieces - his instructional recipes and 'how-to' texts. his transformational tales and fables of pop culture and for his insistence on entertaining through the text rather than through theme or story. This book collects the finest of Opal L. Nation's varied output, providing a deep draught of the bizarre, the absurd, the richly comic. Here is one of the most engaging of the new wave of language-centered writers.
