Moondog Journal 1 Moondog [Hardin, Louis Thomas (1916-1999)] Rare

6 1/2" x 9 1/2", side sewn card covers, [20]pp. Printed by Kaz Press, published, it would seem from the last leaf, by Shoestring Press of "Gotham NY." An undated "revised and enlarged" 2nd printing of the 1967 original. Presumably, not too much later than the first, though some later printings are dated to 1970 (on bibliographic grounds unknown to me). Cover design/art credited to one Sharon Selftel, rear cover to one S. Einhorn. Two photos of Moondog, one at a hotel entrance, the other in studio. A third photograph (opposite the "introduction") of Vickie Hayes (chez Vickie Hayes Theatre Workshop). Introduction by one Susan Lee Merrill. The bulk of the pamphlet consists of extracts from a larger body of Moondog's poetry. A concluding section transcribes some of the score for Moondog's "Symphonique No. 9" (arranged for SQ). Very scarce. A VG copy with mild creasing, tanning and soiling to the covers with a mild curl to the head of the text block. A clean text, no writing or names; a solid bit of sewing.
