ultra-rare 1969 first-edition, self-published poetry folio The Lords: Notes on Vision by James Douglas Morrison (best known as Jim Morrison, the iconic frontman of The Doors). Key Facts About This Edition Ultra-Limited Print Run: Only 100 copies were privately printed in the spring of 1969 by Western Lithographers in Los Angeles, making it one of the most coveted pieces of rock and literary memorabilia in existence.Unique Presentation: It is not a traditionally bound book; instead, it is a navy blue cardboard portfolio with embossed gilt lettering that contains 82 unbound, unnumbered loose-leaf pages.Interactive Reading: Morrison intentionally left the pages unnumbered so that the reader could freely rearrange and read the vignettes in any sequence they chose.Themes: The text largely focuses on his raw thoughts regarding cinema, receptivity, and visual culture, pulling from notebooks he kept while attending the UCLA film school.Commercial Release: In 1970, Simon & Schuster combined this text with another of his self-published works to release the widely distributed trade book, The Lords and the New Creatures. |
