Very Good overall, sometimes better but with some wear, issue 6 being rather worn. Issues 2 and 5 have the ownership inscription/signature of John James; bound in to issue 3, at the start, is a found sheet showing photographs of coastal scenery and inland waterways, on which is typed or printed in red (along with the basic publication details) 'This copy is John James's'; and issue 4 has two extra sheets bound in (one at the start, one at the end), though they are not personalised. James contributes to all four of these issues (and others). Lastly, issue 1 (which is designated 'N.F.S.', i.e. 'not for sale') contains a loose sheet printing a Maximus text by Olson, an outtake in fact from issue 2, because the poem had already appeared elsewhere.
