Library Additions: Two Davidson and Swanwick Chapbooks

Posted on August 15, 2021 by Lawrence Person

Two chapbooks, one old one new:

  • Davidson, Avram. And Don’t Forget The One Red Rose. Dryed Press, 1986. First edition chapbook original, one of 185 copies in wraps, a Fine copy. Won off eBay for $13 plus shipping. Now I need to track down one of the 15 hardbacks…

  • Swanwick, Michael. Five Rings. Dragonstairs Press, 2021. First edition chapbook original, #5 of 32 copies, a Fine copy. Five vignettes on the Olympics, “Gold,” “Silver,” “Bronze,” “Last Place” and “Also There.” Sold out within minutes of being made available for sale. I will have copies available in the forthcoming Lame Excuse Books catalog (which I hope to send out Wednesday).
