Correspondence Art (1984)

[Mail Art News]

Was able to borrow a copy from the library. The price on Amazon was $125. Libraries...there's still a place for libraries in the Internet Age. So far, just thumbing through, it's full of images and very entertaining. Good for ideas.

here's the table of contents anyway https://artpool.hu/MailArt/chrono/1984/Correspondence.html

ok the publisher doesn't seem to be in business anymore, so we can't talk them into reprinting it. Maybe someone has one of the editors (Carl Loeffler, Michael Crane, Mary Stofflet) in their network and can convince them to reprint. There's obviously some demand for the title. With the price online anywhere from $125 to $300, the best idea for someone who wants to save money is to borrow from the library. Inter-library loan if your own library doesn't have a copy.

Looks like a wanna-have!

the book that introduced me to mail art in the 80s. checked it out from the library multiple times. still kicking myself for not hunting down an actual copy back when it was affordable.

That would be great if it was a downloadable pdf somewhere. It's 522 pages, with an image every two or 3 pages, which is too much for me to scan, but I will include a few here and then a few more when I blog about it later. 

I can imagine the above postcard somehow contributed to the development of the video game Sim City, but I have no proof of that.

Very cool. Would be great to scan it and have it as a downloadable PDF....but then that would breach copyright.
