Beautiful set of 7 broadsides from Bay Area master printer, Peter Rutledge Koch, released in small limitations under an imprint made specifically for the project. In all, it seems there were 17 broadsides released. Koch describes the series: "Over a period of ten years beginning in 1991 I designed and printed from hand-set type, found-engravings and original artwork, a series of literary broadsides on various papers under the imprint of "HormoneDerangeEditions, Last Chance Gulch," an imprint invented for this series and for the joy of cowboy humour. The authors and artists include maverick poets, barflies, and cowboy surrealists among several well-known names in American literature. This collection was made purely for the fun of it all and friendship with the printer was the driving editorial criterion."
