The new BeatBooks catalogue is preoccupied with a print netherworld encompassing one-offs, limited editions and short-runs published by concrete poets, beats and other outsiders.
There are also juicy examples of smack-sensationalising pulp fiction and – in one section alone – 36 items relating to The Naked Lunch, including Chicago Review excerpts from 1958 and William Burroughs’ first US LP release.
