About the Time bootleg version. I have some original copies, signed by booklegger Roy Pennington. These are copies we distributed through Public House Bookshop in Brighton – and they as well as the staples are kosher. If anyone is interested, email me at richard.cupidi@gmail.com.

Any of these original copies still available of Burrough’s work?

There were also single sheets printed of the Bickershaw bootleg cover, handed out for promotional purposes.

Hello, we have inherited our father’s collection of William Burrough’s books including a copy of the unsigned Time magazine, 2 copies of APO-33 (one first edition and one of the second printing), Soft Need 17, Exterminator (The Auerhahn Press, 1960), Minutes To Go (Paris: Two Cities Editions, 1960) and quite a number of books which show up on AbeBooks as potentially having value.
Firstly I was wondering if anybody could suggest a value for the copy of Time Magazine as I can’t find another copy for sale anywhere, and secondly, would anybody here be interested in the collection?

This morning I answered my own question when a copy of the Sept 13 issue e-bayed itself through the letterbox. I’ve not checked what Ports of Entry says in full about what was used from this issue but I would be surprised if they point out that the intervening colour painting comes from this very ame Sept 13. Why do I say I’d be surprised? Because if it had been noticed and commented on then I think they would have made more about it; the caption for this Tuscan Impressionist “Seascape with Cloud Effect” says ….(wait for it) …..”….painters..tried to probe depths of reality by taking apart and reassembling colors and forms.” Nothing is ever completely random with Mr William Burroughs, our man at the Reality frontline, calmly wielding a Stanley knife.

It is not particularly important but in the grand scheme of completism can I just point out that the Time original cover as posted above is a USA edition whilst our Bill used the overseas Atlantic Edition (see top right hand corner and the prices for various locations at the bottom).
What I’d like to find is the source for the painting intervention..it is a van Gogh, isn’t it? From another Time magazine?

Sorry, I’ve been out of the loop. But I still have the ‘Bickershaw rip-off’ and other Burroughs for sale.
