The pencil notes on the prospectus show that we're not the first sellers to struggle identifying all the contents here. A Bibliography of the Black Sun Press, G. R. Minkoff, 1970 isn't descriptive enough. identifying the portfolio and the [missing] title leaves. More bibliography needs in the title, while most work on the important Black Sun Press is focused on its book issues..CONTENTS:[Title page and limitation page] - not included![Anything by or about Henry Miller, except prospectus] - not included.Prospectus (we think).1.Why not read Lawrence too? / Harry Thornton Moore -- 2. 8 love poems / Harry Crosby -- 3.
