Am Here Books Mailer with Burroughs' three-column work (1971)



Ollon, Vaud, Switzerland: Richard Aaron / Am Here Books (advertising, broadsheet), 1971.
11.625" x 8.25", single sheet, printed both sides, with advertisement and "Fluxpost" stamp on recto, and three-column Burroughs work on verso.

"Arriving at customs...", a three-column work by William S. Burroughs, reproduced on verso of an advertising mailer produced by Richard Aaron of Am Here Books (Ollon, Vaud, Switzerland) in 1971. A "Fluxpost" stamp is affixed to the advertising side. The text of the Burroughs three-column work is related to the "Seeing Red" chapter in Exterminator!. 

This scarce item was noted as being produced in a run of 70 copies, according to Schottlaender, but, according to direct conversation with Richard A. Aaron of Am Here books (in 2021) only roughly 40 copies were released.

This copy was in the collection of Mike Skau, English professor at University of Nebraska, and was acquired through Jeffrey Weinberg of Water Row Press (Massachusetts, US).

Not in Maynard & Miles. Not in Shoaf. Schottlaender v4.G69.
