The rear panel advertises Close Up, the film periodical also published by Pool and edited by Kenneth Macpherson with financial backing from Bryher. Juan Antonio Suárez, Pop Modernism: Noise and the Reinvention of the Everyday, 2007; Joanne Winning, Bryher: Two Novels, 2000. Octavo. Original red cloth, title to spine and upper board in gilt.
