New York: Siamese Banana Press, 1972. First edition. Side-stitched softcover, [19]pp., 8.5 x 11 inches. Very Good. Gentle toning due to age while inner pages are noticeably bright and sharp. Minimal rubbing and slight crease to rear cover at staples. Banana obsessed artist's book written and illustrated by Joe Brainard. One of several book works published by The Siamese Banana Press (started by Johnny Stanton) who also printed works by Paul Auster, Anne Waldman, and Tom Veitch. Along with Brainard's Cigarette Book, these works combine elements of poetry, prose, collage, comics, and gay erotica.
