The Ugly Iowan
Iowa City: Confused Publications, 1963. Illustrated by Pearson, Rich. Plastic Comb. Near Fine. Item #072130
Crisp, clean pages; regular, sturdy plastic comb binding; there is a small fold across the top left rear corner of the soft cover and some grayish smudging across the back, otherwise excellent. A sort of anti-yearbook, covering the experiences of a University of Iowa student circa 1962, from freezing at a bus stop to picking the professor out of a protest scene, trying not to get killed at the stoplight on Madison to being caricatured by townies, with a few pages of suggested pin-back buttons and many grayscale illustrations presented as coloring book pages, employing variations of the idiom "color me surprised"; 4to.
