6 volumes. 
 
Black Sparrow Press: 1973 - 1977. Limited autographed edition of 50 copies. Hardcovers in acetate jackets. Octavos. Acetate jackets have tears. Some of the spines are slightly leaning. Minor foxing on a few of the text blocks. Unpaginated. Very good. All signed. 
 
Unparalleled for collecting the best modern poetry. Black Sparrow's legend has always emphasized a loyalty to its writers, and each issue of BS's magazine Sparrow was dedicated to a single author. These volumes bind together issue 1 to 72 and each is signed by every featured author. So much such top notch talent you'll tap out as you read the list: Diane Wakoski, Charles Bukowski, Cid Corman, Wanda Coleman, William Everson, Paul Bowles, Mohammed Mrabet, Robert Creeley, Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Kelly, Gilbert Sorrentino. Oh well. A small and classy card from BS was inserted in volume one: "Compliments of the Publisher."
