Webb and his wife "Gypsy Lou" edited the Loujon Press and published five issues of The Outsider, one of the most (elaborate) and important mid-century literary magazines. The contributors to The Outsider, Miller, Bukowski, The Beats, and other anti-establishment writers were not generally invited to The McDowell Colony, and no other connection found between Sward and Webb. An interesting association copy. Signed.
