About this copy
This is the first (and only) complete collected edition of the underground 1970s magazine 'The Country Bizarre', gathering all 11 original issues (1970-74) into a single hardcover volume. The copyright page confirms this was first published in book form by Astragal Books in 1976, with no later printings indicated. The book is bound in green cloth boards and is presented in its original pictorial dust jacket, designed by Graham Mitchener, priced £5.95 and unclipped.
