64mo. (12)ff. The scarce first printing of Rice's excerpt from Bukowski's Post Office, which Rice made to give out to her fellow carriers when she was leaving her position at the titular establishment. Its origins are in labor relations, which Rice felt keenly while a clerk at the Postal Service, so-often the locus of censorial and oppressive policy measures. Its "palm book" format recalls those passed clandestinely during the early years of the Labor Movement in the United States. Accompanying illustrations are, then, aptly derived from Dickens's Oliver. Binding hand-sewn with white thread into blue and black mottled paper wrappers. Mutant Drone Press is a subsidiary of Rice's Moving Parts Press. Fine.
