Softcover. unpaginated; classic and important artist book at start of Fluxus; poor condition, many scuffs and fading to covers; 2-inch and 3-inch tears to top of spine with hanging flap; 2-inch tear to bottom of spine with hanging flap and partial loss; many pages have a waterstain at the right edge; contents complete with all inserts and contents; last envelope by La Monte Young is unglued but present. The first edition of this book is very different from the 2nd edition of 1970; the size of the earlier edition is smaller; almost every page is printed on a different colored paperstock; the layout of several pages has been completely re-arranged; the flow of the page sequencing is slightly different; and the spine is blank. This copy is from the library of artist Michael Snow and has a torn illustration of his Walking Woman affixed to the inside front cover; perhaps he was trying to insert himself into Fluxus; or perhaps it's simply like a bookplate.
