Great A-4-sized slice of the mind of England´s greatest poets. This tome, limited to 2000 copies but fairly easy to get hold of, is a collection of lyrics, musings, scribbles, advice, reportage, poetry, engravings, illustrations, photos and so on, largely messed about with, crossed out and annotated, precisely as you would expect. It´s complex, simple, amusing, worrying, hilarious, profound and inspid - and has some lovely touches, such as the index leading you to the wrong pages. A fitting record of one of the most unique literary imaginations to have ever grown from British soil.
