the RENT RAFFLE: ALLEN GINSBERG - PHOTOGRAPHS. 1st ed. hardcover signed by Ginsberg with double-page buddha drawing!

Pil Cappelen Smith

We don’t do skimpflation at Cappelens Forslag. But we’s gots to make the rent! With Oslo’s open drug market/crisis psychiatry reservation placed outside our door by the city council, thus halting traffic in our street (well, the kind of traffic we survive on), there’s only one thing for it: Make a lottery out of the crown jewels!

We’ve done it before. It’s actually good fun, though we miss the fantastic prizes we offer. This time it’s another signed Ginsberg. Last time we raffled off a signed copy of Howl. This is, if possible, even more exclusive: A coffee table monster hardcover binding of Photographs, in which Ginsberg has written a dedication to the preeminent Norwegian Beat translator, Olav Angell, AND he’s drawn a giant, kind of pissed off buddha figure over the two title pages.

This book can be yours for the low, low price of 50 Nkr! Unbelievable.

Proceeds from this lottery goes towards keeping our doors open in the face of inflation, roadworks, our street turning into Escape from New York-style Manhattan and, as always, human roll-on Jeff Bezos. We appreciate and value your wisdom in supporting the last few independents, and maybe become the owner of this insane collector’s wet dream while you’re at it!

Thank You.
