Usually wrong.
I recently found a small stash of extra copies of some of my earliest chapbooks from the 1970s. I'm offering these for sale here only. They are all first editions, first printings. Most are new, unread copies that have been in storage since publication. Due to age toning, fading and minimal edge wear on some copies, I would call them fine to near mint on average. A few exceptions that have soiling or creases and are Very Good are noted. I'll save these worn copies for last, so if you order early, you stand a better chance of getting a fine to mint copy. You can read detailed descriptions of these chapbooks in Bill Roberts' DAVID BARKER: A BIBLIOGRAPHY (Bottle of Smoke Press.) All are very rare and this may be your only chance to buy them. I will do combined shipping if you order several items. Shipping in the U.S. or to Canada, add $2. Shipping outside the U.S., add $6. Limited to one copy per title per person please. To order, send me a PM and I'll give you payment details. Signed upon request. Thanks.
Roberts #1 - 12 Poets and Their Cars (1972.) Chapbook of photographs of Long Beach poets. All have rusty staples. One copy is inscribed by me "to mom." $20 (5 copies)
Roberts #2 - Hot Rods of Spring (1973.) Mini chap collage poem. $5 (5 copies; 1 VG has soil and a crease.)
Roberts #3 - AERO (1973.) Mini chap collage with found text. $5 (6 copies)
Roberts #6 - Train Goes Slow But Gets There Rumba (1974.) Mini chap collage with found text. $5 (1 copy, VG with cover crease.)
Roberts #8 - Rumba: The Man Should Lead - And The Woman Should Follow (1975.) Chapbook collage with found text. One sheet, folded. $5 (3 copies)
Roberts #10 - Homage to Rambler (1975.) Chapbook collage poem. One sheet, folded. $5 (2 copies)
There are other early titles that I have extras of, but they need collating and binding, so I'll offer them later.
