The Screw Reader

First edition. 4to. 178pp. Hardback in dust jacket. Publisher’s original black cloth boards with purple titles to spine. Light soiling to ffe. Jacket toned and rubbed; slight creasing and chipping to extremities. *** Anthology of the infamous underground newspaper Screw. Profusely illustrated throughout with drawings, cartoons and many rather graphic (NSFW) photographs.
