Hard cover, blue paperbacked boards with black titles to spine in pictorial, unclipped dust jacket. With illustrated endpapers by the influential proto-Romantic British artist, poet and printmaker William Blake (1757-1827), 453 pp. plus 14 pages of color plates of the artist's work. CONDITION: Fine, as new. In mylar.**Part memoir of the Author's halcyon days spent along the Devon coast and in London of the 1970's and 80's as well as an homage to the inspiration of Blake and other influential British writers and artists and musicians (spanning the Decadents to the Punks) in a very readable, if rambling, commentary on creativity. From the blurb:" Blake's heavenly bodies are our real selves, soaring beyond time and space. His art is a time machine. We can climb aboard and be taken to the stars. Blake accepted no limits to the human spirit." A good read.
