Description
Between 1990 and 1994, Manic D Press produced a dozen 20-page photocopied and stapled books by some of the most talented young writers from the Bay Area and beyond, including Jon Longhi, Bucky Sinister, Sparrow 13 LaughingWand and Wendy-o Matik. Now collected in a single trade paperback facsimile edition, these heartfelt and beautiful works reveal the origins of one of the US's most alternative literary presses, whose books have received literary awards from the American Library Association and the Firecracker Alternative Book Awards.
Reviews
