Shig's Review No. 40
San Francisco: Shigspeer Press, n.d. First Edition. Stapled, xerographic sheets, 35.5cm x 21.5cm. (7) leaves printed recto only on legal-sized paper. Very good.
Single issue of this eccentric and irregularly-issued xeroxed zine by long-time North Beach fixture Shigeyoshi "Shig" Murao. This issue comprised of portraits of Shigeyoshi "Shig" Murao by artists in the North Beach area. The cover reproduces a sketch by San Francisco artist Don Moses. Text features work by Shig's family and friends, including one portrait signed "Robert David" (possibly Robert David Brady, popular San Francisco sculptor). |
