If your bid is successful, as an alternative to in-house shipping, we can provide you with a list of shippers. We will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. Property will not be released to the shipper without the buyer's written consent and until payment has been made in full. Packing and handling by us of purchased lots is at the entire risk of the purchaser, and Potter and Potter Auctions, Inc. will have no liability of any loss or damage to such items. Packing and shipping expenses shall be added to buyer's invoice and will reflect a charge for labor, materials, insurance, transportation, as well as actual shipper fees.

Issues 2 and 3 were hand-printed on a 19th century clamshell press, and the unconventional layout reflects this. Loujon Press published some of the earliest printed appearances of Charles Bukowski (who has contributed to some of these issues - he appears on the cover of no. 3). Other contributors include: William S. Burroughs, Gregory Corso, Jean Genet, Jack Kerouac, Henry Miller, Kenneth Patchen, Gary Snyder, Diane Wakowski, Jean Cocteau, Denise Levertov, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and many more.
