Description: Black-and-white paper covers. 148 pp. 15.8 x 12.3 cm. As new. **True first edition, printed in letterpress by Villiers Press, London, England, with a sewn binding and Villiers' notice inside the rear cover. 5000 copies published in May 1968. The stated "First American Edition" is a reprint, as described by Ralph Cook in his The City Lights Pocket Poets series: a descriptive bibliography: "25,000 copies printed photo-offset and perfect-bound by Edwards Brothers in Ann Arbor, Michigan" in November 1968 (Cook). This publishing pattern was commonly practiced by City Lights: the initial printings of most of the first 27 numbers were letterpress by Villiers, with some later offset reprints by Edwards Brothers or other firms. In his later City Lights Books: a descriptive bibliography (Garland, 1992), Ralph Cook describes the "First American Edition" as "erroneous." Number 23 in series. Only two as-new, never-sold copies remain. **Free domestic shipping with direct order.

Allen Ginsberg. Planet News [Lynd Ward, + Moloch broadside]. City Lights Books, San Francisco, 1968.
Price: US$2900.00 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: A significant association copy, inscribed on the title page: "For Lynd + May Ward, Cresskill, N.J., from Allen Ginsberg, March 12 '78, old poems + best wishes." Ginsberg's "Moloch" section in Howl was influenced by the Moloch section in master engraver Lynd Ward's wordless novel Wild Pilgrimage (1932). In Ginsberg's intro to Illuminated Poems (published in 1996 a year before Ginsberg passed), he wrote, "Lynd Ward's images of the solitary artist dwarfed by the canyons of a Wall Street Megalopolis lay shadowed behind my own vision of Moloch." Fittingly, in 1978 engraver and printer Michael McCurdy commissioned Ward to illustrate a broadside of Howl's Moloch section for McCurdy's Penmaen Press. Three hundred broadsides with Ward's engraving were printed, one hundred and fifty numbered and signed by both Ward and Ginsberg. It was one of Ward's last publications. This copy of Planet News, a second printing, was inscribed to Ward at the signing of that broadside at Ward's studio in Cresskill. A copy of this large broadside, signed by both Ward and Ginsberg, is included here, number 10 of 300. The book is very good with light soiling to wraps, a touch of sunning to the spine, mild wear to top and bottom of spine, and a shallow chip to back wrap near spine that is about a half-inch long and an eighth-inch deep. The broadside is fine. A fantastic set for a Beat collector.
