Dear Clifford -
for news of big chunks of Big Bob Cob's work, try my earlier post, the ALP
Catalogue (brief reprise):
___________________________________________________________
The new ed. of the Association of Little Presses' CATALOGUE OF LITTLE
PRESS BOOKS IN PRINT (No.14, 1977) is now out. It costs 3 pounds 75, and
is available from ALP Co-ordinator Chris Jones, 111 Banbury Rd Oxford OX2
6JX.
It's an invaluable resource: list of UK little presses, access point for
work by numerous UK authors (including members of this list!), bookshops
(many of which do mail order) and - of course - individual press adverts.
As well as pointing out new things which I'd never have heard of, it
reminded me of a lot of blasts from the past, things I want to dig out and
re-read. And some really weird stuff too. New readers, start here - with
caution...

But it seems to me (from the depths of my shattered mental database) that
at least some of BC should be available in Canada, as two "selected" vols
were published by Coach House Press (they who also did Bill Griffiths
"Tract against the Giants" and the Harwood Tzara) of Toronto. But, maybe
these books just stay in a warehouse somewhere...
Happy searching!
