Larry Law, Situationist International, Spectacular Times

Law, Larry. Spectacular Times 1-14. London: Spectacular Times, 1979-1989. Various pagination, 14.5 x 10 cm. Illustrated throughout.

“Larry Law compiled and edited a series of small ‘pocketbooks’ in the late 1970s/early 1980s entitled ‘Spectacular Times’. They serve as a brief introduction to the ideas of Situationism. Each consists of newspaper clippings, quotations, handwritten text by Law and illustrations, all compiled and arranged with great humour!” (nntk.net)

A series of booklets published by Larry Law. I finally got my hand on #5 and #6 – which, until then, were believed to never have been publsihed. All issues are now available in PDF format at http://nntk.net/main.php?g2_itemId=251. Check it out!

Da Miséria No Meio Estudantil [1983]

Khayati, Mustapha / Internationale Situationniste. Da Miseria No Meio Estudiantil. Coimbra (Portugal): Fenda, 1983. 44 p.; 21  x 10.5 cm; illustrated light brown wrappers with 6 portraits and text in dark brown

Portuguese translation of De la Misere en Milieu Etudiant. Translation by Julio Henriques.

Reproduces (in Portuguese) the introduction that first appeared in Ten Days that Shook the University in 1967. Also includes a brief note by the translator, in which he states that the pamphlet has previously been distributed in Portugal, but no other editions (or accounts of these early publications) can be found. Thus, this may very well be the first edition.

Not see in the trade, with a single copy found on OCLC (At the National Library of Portugal). As is often the case with editions of La Misere en Milieu Etudiant, the text is available online: http://www.cedap.assis.unesp.br/cantolibertario/textos/0121.htm
