Prospectus and order form for the Atticus Press edition of Harold Norse's Cut-Up novella Beat Hotel, which has an introduction by William S. Burroughs. The full edition of the book is 1,900 softbound copies and 100 hardcover signed/numbered copies. Advertising for this book is uncommonly located.
The verso of this sheet has an overview of the book, a biography of Harold Norse, and a number of quotes on Harold Norse. William S. Burroughs is represented in a quote about Norse:
"Harold Norse was among the first to apply Cut-Ups. It is with pangs of nostalgia that I read these on-the-spot notes from 1960 to 1963, composed in the now-famous Beat Hotel at 9, rue Gît-le-Coeur in Paris. We are indebted to Harold Norse for recording the strange interlude in which he played a pivotal role..."
