WHAT SHALL WE DO WITHOUT US? The VOICE and VISION of KENNETH PATCHEN, with an afterword by JAMES LAUGHLIN.

SIGNED on the title page by MIRIAM PATCHEN and JAMES LAUGHLIN. Additionally SIGNED on the copyright page by CAROLYN ROBERTSON and (JAMES ROBERTSON?? His signature is always very difficult). Their signatures are next to the printed statement "A YOLLA BOLLY PRESS BOOK". Carolyn and James Robertson founded and ran the Yolla Bolly Press, Covelo, Mendocino County, California. James Robertson died in 2001. I believe Carolyn Robertson is still involved with the Press.

A Yolla Bolly Press Book Published by Sierra Club Books, San Francisco, 1984. First Edition, so stated at the top of the copyright page (published simultaneously in softcover and hardcover). ISBN: 0871568187.

Softcovers, 8.5x12 inches, ILLUSTRATED with 37 COLOR PLATES sandwiched between a few prelim text pages and the 24 page afterword by Laughlin. Each of the color plates is printed on its own leaf (i.e. blank backsides).

VERY GOOD condition, the covers have some light toning to the spine and margins, otherwise tight, bright, clean and unmarked. An attractive, very presentable copy.

SCARCE with the SIGNATURES of Miriam PATCHEN (b.1914 d.2000), James LAUGHLIN (b.1914 d.1997), Carolyn ROBERTSON, and James ROBERTSON (d.2001).
