Printed card wrapper. Some spotting on front cover; light edgewear. Many of the poems show a previous owner's minor marginalia, typically just a simple check mark, question mark, or exclamation mark, and occasionally a one word review like ''ok''.

A mimeo copy the first issue of the ''Little Mag Report'' is laid-in. This book was the result of four nights of readings in Berkeley in May 1968, which accompanied the Conference of Small-Mag Editors & Pressmen (COSMEP).
