Something Else Press, John Giorno, Dick Higgins, Bern Porter

Four books published by Something Else Press, founded by Dick Higgins in New York in 1964 to promote avant-garde material. His intention was to manufacture radical texts in conventional high quality bindings, so that standard libraries would put them on their shelves. Among the published works were many made by Fluxus oriented artists.
