Death by Roller Disco

Edition : First / Harvard / Yuk / 1970/1971 / Softcover. / VG+
8vo, Unpaginated. Printed wraps as issued. Numerous Black & White plates. Text in English. Inscribed by Lessem to titlepage ‘for the van heckes, great sports, all best, don’.

A somewhat obscure cultural side note, the main purpose seeming to be to prove that Andy Warhol really would do anything. That aside, it’s a fun photostory/fictional screenplay featuring Lessem inventing a roller hat, finding a girl/losing a girl/that kind of stuff. Lessem himself is the founder of the Dinosaur Society, the Jurassic Foundation, a well respected science journalist, consultant and owner of a very successful dinosaur animatronics company. Oh – he also made that massive dump trump statue. Honestly – what a true oddity.
