No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. [Berkeley, CA]: [Stooge], [1971]. 20 unbound sheets of card and paperstock, mostly 8.5 x 11 in., silk-screened primarily to rectos in various colors; 8 small printed cards. Housed as issued in a portfolio fashioned from a flattened pizza box, silk-screened to both covers and interior. The uncommon fifth issue of this little mag founded by Allen Schiller, co-edited by Geoff Young (who later shared editing duties with Laura Chester, before the pair left in 1975 to found long-running small press The Figures). This issue notable for its rather unconventional format, as well as for the inclusion of "An Answer to a Critic of Sorts" by Charles Bukowski (Krumhansl 37) and an unattributed version of "Riprap" by Gary Snyder (McNeil A34). (Though Krumhansl's entry is not terribly helpful, McNeil usefully supplies Berkeley and 1971, and also cites an edition size of 200 copies, though admits to having handled only Snyder's broadside. Other contributors include Jack Shoemaker, Howard McCord, James Holmstrand, D. Johnson, Ken Maytag, Chuck Lee, Ken Weston, David Till, William Witherup, Fred Cooper, Stan Rice, and Al Masarik. Contents near fine, with some crimping to upper left corners. Portfolio moderately rubbed and worn, lacking original purple string tie.
