Some light fading along the extremities; otherwise very good.

In 1958, Kupferberg started The Birth Press with Sylvia Topp, which published a number of beat and anarchist-influenced magazines and pamphlets, including this title, which provides 1005 (more than promised) ways to live without working.

Seller: Peter Harrington. ABA/ ILAB., London, United Kingdom
First edition, self-published some six years before the more commonly encountered, expanded, Grove Press edition, and uncommon thus. Before finding fame with The Fugs, Kupferberg operated as poet, pamphleteer and publisher, probably best known to the cognoscenti as the man in Ginberg's Howl "who jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge this actually happened and walked away unknown and forgotten into the ghostly daze of Chinatown soup alleyways & firetrucks, not even one free beer", a reference to Kupferberg's 1945 suicide attempt from - in fact - the Manhattan Bridge. Identified as the American Society for the Advancement of Anthropophagy Publication No.1 - presumably there were no more, the society, unfortunately, failing - the text consists of a list of 1005, "Wouldn't it be silly if there were just exactly 1001 ways to live without working?", suggestions to achieve the work-free life; "Be simple Be the first man to open a pizza stand on Mt Everest Be a recluse, or Be reckless Be feckless Be importunate Be serendipitous Be Casual Be a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas [711-9]" The result is a "handbook, political satire, and collage- all-in-one", which lead Matt Groening to describe Kupferberg as "a pioneer of list-making as art" (Houghton Library Blog, "A New Standard of Laziness", 11 February 2016, retrieved 23 August 2018). Tall "octavo" ( 280 x 109 mm) 10 leaves of variously coloured paper stock, text recto and verso, stapled between light card wrappers. printed in red. Illustrations to wraps and text. Light toning, wrappers a touch rubbed, but overall very good. Seller Inventory # 129002
