Item description from seller

THIRD ASSEMBLING, A Collection of Otherwise Unpublishable Manuscripts, compiled by Richard Kostelanetz, Henry Korn, and Mike Metz, soft cover, first edition of 1000 copies, 1972. BOOK CONDITION: good. The text block is in near fine condition with no marks except faint pencil marks on first page. No dog-ears, but the edges of several entries exceeded the width and/or length prescribed by the compilers. Those few entries are edge-crinkled or torn. There is no bookplate or signature of a prior owner. Not a remainder or former library book. The wraps are in fairly good condition (foxing, spotting, rubbing, and small stain at bottom of spine where a label was). The wraps, while still attached, have begun pulling away from the spine because of the glue no longer holding. 11 x 8 1/2, unpaginated but easily over 150 pages, 28 ounces XX [From the preface] Contributors were invited to submit 1000 copies of up to 4 pages of anything they wanted to include, printed at their own expense. Submissions were collated alphabetically. Biographical notes identify most of the contributors. No manuscript was refused so names and views expressed are not the responsibility of assembling press or the editors. Assembling appears annually in the early fall. Its primary purpose is the publication of works too eccentric to be accepted elsewhere. XX Stories, poems concrete poetry, visual poetry, drawings, photographs, letters, and miscellaneous other written or visual material comprise this very avant-garde publication. The 86 contributors include Russell Edson, Jochen Gerz, Roni Hoffman, Henry Korn, Richard Kostelanetz, Ruth Krauss, Richard Meltzer, Mike Metz, Bern Porter, and 77 others. …
