Octavo. 8-1/4 x 5-3/4 inches. 190 pp. Publisher's original black cloth-covered boards. Spine stamped in metallic blue. White endpapers. Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs from the original New York production. Unclipped first issue dust jacket with Clovis Trouille painting reproduced on front panel. Shows $5.00 and GP-603 on front flap. Black cloth clean and un-worn. Stamping to spine bright and unrubbed. Tips sharp. Binding tight with slight lean. Interior unmarked and clean. Dustjacket has slight edge curling and a tiny, closed corner tear at heel. Dust jacket now in protective archival cover. The avant-garde "entertainment with music," devised by British drama critic Kenneth Tynan and directed by Jacques Levy, consisted of sketches provided by Julian Barry, Samuel Beckett, Jules Feiffer, Dan Greenburg, John Lennon, Pat McCormick, Leonard Melfi, David Newman & Robert Benton, Edna O'Brien, Sam Shepard, and Sherman Yellen, as well as Tynan and Levy. Music and lyrics were by The Open Window (Peter Schickele, Robert Dennis, Stanley Walden). The theatrical revue was controversial due to erotic content and extended scenes of full male and female nudity. The title of the production was taken from a painting by French surrealist painter Clovis Trouille, used on the billboard for the show. The phrase, "Oh! Calcutta! Calcutta!," is seen on the painting and employs a phonetic French pun, Oh! Quel cul t'as!, loosely translated as "Oh! What a lovely ass you have!".…

Store description
Village Lights opened as a brick-and-mortar shop in 2008. A full-service general bookstore, we offered a carefully curated selection of used and new books. In 2024, we transitioned to a rare and antiquarian book shop, open by appointment. We offer a modest, but growing, eclectic selection of rare, collectible, and out-of-print books, with strength in modern firsts and signed copies. We also sell handmade letterpress books from Larkspur Press. We value direct communication, so please feel free to call if you have questions about our listings or to confirm that an item is still on hand. We invite you to visit our website or make an appointment to visit us in the forested hills of Brown County, Indiana’s “Little Smokies.”…

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
