The Pushcart Prize XII 1987-88 Edition [with an Index to the first twelve volumes]

Los Angeles: The Pushcart Press, 1987. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. A Near Fine to Fine copy of the first edition, first printing with some pushing to the spine ends and a small nudge to the rear board's lower leading corner (which remains rather sharp), showing slight spotting to the closed page block's top edge. The book feels like it has not been read and is and without pen, pencil, marker, or other foreign markings, within. The volume wears a Very Good dust jacket showing some general wear and tear. The text contains work by many authors selected from submissions made by small book presses and many magazines to the Pushcart judges. More officially stated: "The Pushcart Prize is an American literary prize published by Pushcart Press that honors the best "poetry, short fiction, essays or literary whatnot" published in the small presses over the previous year. Magazine and small book press editors are invited to submit up to six works they have featured." Anthologies of works selected from the submissions made have been published since 1976 when it was founded by Henderson and a group of Founding Editors that included Paul Bowles, Ralph Ellison, Joyce Carol Oates and Reynolds Price, to recognize and celebrate the best work in the rapidly expanding independent publishing movement. A Nice Copy and surprisingly uncommon to the market. Near fine / very good. Item #3575
