The issue that provoked a police raid
[SANDERS, Ed (editor).] Fuck You: A Magazine Of The Art, Number 5 Volume 4. New York:Fuck You Press.1963
4to. 35 mimeographed leaves, unpaginated, staple bound. A little wear to top edge of front cover; otherwise near fine.
First edition. Issue Number 8 of this vital document of the Mimeograph Revolution.
Contributors to this issue incuded the poets Rochelle Ownes and George Econonomou (who had married the previous year). In January 1966, three years after the publication of this edition, Ed Sanders's Peace Eye Bookstore was raided by police on the grounds of distributing 'obscene' material and copies of Fuck You were confiscated, perhaps a leading reason for the magazine's significant rarity.
