"Edited in 1972 but never published, A Something Else Reader collects some of the most radical writing and art published by the most adventurous art book publisher to come out of the 1960s: Something Else Press. Founded in 1963 by Dick Higgins, the press was a cornerstone of post-war experimental art, publishing a who's-who from the period's literary and artistic avant-gardes. Although the press folded in 1974, it left behind an outsize influence and continues to shape how we think about artists' books to this day. Its books are long out of print, making this reader a must-have."--back of book
