P.S. How could I have forgotten Ed Ruscha? Business cards. 1968. 1000 copies. Photograph of Ruscha and Billy Al Bengston mounted on cover; bound with rawhide. Most copies signed on cover by both artists. Babycakes. 1st ed., 1970. 1200 copies. Sweet, flocked cover, and very fragile. Billy. Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1968. 2500 copies. This is Ruscha's design for Billy Al Bengston's show at LACMA. The covers are garnet paper bound with nuts and bolts, and with a pink ribbon bound in as a placeholder. Edward Ruscha, Minneapolis Institute of Arts. 1972. 2000 copies. In the form of a grass-green Big-Little Book At BookExpo this weekend I saw a little book of baseball-themed poetry in the shape of a triangular pennant with a green, flocked cover simulating Astroturf, I suppose. It was a very inexpensive remainder, and I am pretty sure it was at Powell's booth.
