Reports from the Bibliographic Bunker<\/h4>\n

Jed Birmingham on William S. Burroughs Collecting<\/h3>\n

In the introduction to the bibliography of his work prepared by Joe Maynard and Barry Miles, William Burroughs spoke about how the \u201clittle mags\u201d were a lifeline for him at a time when he had very few hopes for publishing his work. One of the most important of these independent publications was Jeff Nuttall\u2019s\u00a0My Own Mag:<\/i>\u00a0\u201c1964\u2026 No. 4, Calle Larachi, Tangier.\u00a0My Own Mag\u2026<\/i>smell of kerosene heaters, hostile neighbors, stones thudding against the door. Jeff Nuttall sent me a copy of\u00a0My Own Mag<\/i>\u00a0and asked me to contribute. I recall that delivery of the first copies to which I had contributed was heralded by a wooden top crashing through the skylight.\u201d<\/p>\n

RealityStudio is proud to present a comprehensive archive of Jeff Nuttall\u2019s influential zine. This archive features every page of every now rare issue, bibliographies, context and discussion by Jed Birmingham and Robert Bank. Special thanks are due in particular to Bank, curator of\u00a0jeff-nuttall.co.uk<\/a>, who provided the imagery and ample documentation of the archive. In an essay, Bank also explains how Nuttall\u2019s cartoon \u201cPerfume Jack\u201d provides evidence for the publication history of\u00a0My Own Mag.<\/i><\/p>\n
