William Burroughs. Roosevelt After Inauguration. Fuck You Press, 1964.

Price: US$802.04 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: A rare and important piece of counter-cultural literary history, this is the beautiful, fragile work published by Fuck You Press in New York in 1964. The cover is by Allen Ginsberg, and the book (more of a pamphlet at 12 pages of various colours held together by staples), was produced on a mimeograph and limited to 500 copies (though many were destroyed by the machine that made them). It contains the missing, ‘secret’ section of the Burroughs/ Ginsberg work ‘the Yage Letters’, which was considered so indecent that its original publishers were arrested on obscenity charges. This copy is in uncommonly Fine condition.
