From BMC to NYC: The Tuelary Years of Ray Johnson is another publication of the Black Mountain Museum and College. Copies were still available on my visit but I would get them quick if Vincent Katz's Black Mountain College: Experiment in Art, published by MIT Press is any indication. That book is out of print and was selling for as much as $200 online. The Strand seems to have a copy now for $90. If you are interested I would suggest you go out and grab it as it is an essential resource. Black Mountain related material seems to appreciate at a fantastic rate. From BMC to NYC is currently on Abebooks for over $300, which is Exhibit A for just how ridiculous Abebooks has become. I bought my copy at the Museum for $15.JB

MIMEO MIMEO #3: THE DANNY SNELSON ISSUE examines the relationship between structuralism and the poetries of the mimeo era by presenting a detailed analysis of Form (a Cambridge-UK magazine published in 1966) and Alcheringa (a journal published by Boston University in 1975), two exemplary gatherings that illuminate the historical, material and social circumstances under which theory informed art (and vice versa) in the early works of some of today's most celebrated experimental writers. Also includes a special insert, The Infernal Method, written, designed and printed by Aaron Cohick (NewLights Press).
