Quarto. (10)ff. With an introduction by Kent. The book was designed and printed by the Press of A. Colish, Mount Vernon, NY. The Gecklers worked alongside Kent at Briarcombe Farm in Winona, Minnesota, which Kent details in chapters 21 and 22 of It's Me O Lord. Together they negotiated a collective bargaining agreement with the farm's owners for better pay, and remained lifelong friends. Touch of foxing internally, else about fine in buff printed wrappers which show some bruising in the upper corner.
