C. Lion, Kaleidoscope-Milwaukee, Kulchur, Jeopardy, Playboy, Nice, Now Now, Sum, Coyote's Journal, and the New American Review), this collection also includes 12 original stories: "The Gathering of a Californian", "An Unlimited Supply of 35 Millimiter Film", "Trick or Treating Down to the Sea in Ships", "Blackberry Motorist", "Thoreau Rubberband", "44:40", "Perfect California Day", "April in God-damn", "One afternoon in 1939", "The Correct Time", "American Flag Decal" as well as "The Scarlatti Tilt", a curious three line crime saga.
Good; good. Light rubbing on the spine and edges. Folds caused by the printing press on two pages. Otherwise a very nice copy.
