Tangier, Morroco: Ira Cohen, 1964. Saddle-stapled in red pictorial paper wraps, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 10 pp. Extremely scarce Burroughs work, an anthology of sorts, containing each of Burroughs contributions published in Ira Cohen's one shot magazine Gnaoua. Cohen arrived in Morroco in 1961 greeted by the expat community of Burroughs, Gysin, & Bowles. He later edited and published the magazine, which appeared in 1964. The Burroughs bibliographers Maynard and Miles---as well as other bibliographers---commonly overlook this publication in their assembling his work, which has tinged the document with some mystery and reverence. OCLC locates 2 copies. Very good, some minimal bruising and creasing. Item #1397
