SAMMY SAMMY [PSEUDONYM OF GEORGE A. DE PAPE] - As Colours in a Rainbow. Poems and Songs by the Legend of Hornby Island.

Calgary, The Idea Company, 1982. First Edition, First Printing. Paperback. Octavo, original pictorial wrappers, stapled at spine. Illustrated 24 page poetry book by Sammy Sammy, who was, indeed, legendary. From 'Beautiful Red Heads and Hornby Island Moonshine': "I tried to love her on top of my bed, But she picked up a poker and bashed in my head". A fine copy, unusual as most copies have been destroyed over the years by mould, rats and completely stoned hippies who did too much acid and used them for firestarter. Fine .
