Summary:

This book presents the underground and self-published works that came out of West Germany during the 1960s. It also shows the international context in which they emerged: not as an anecdotal history but as an attempt to tap into the aesthetic cosmos of a Do-It-Yourself rebellion, one that also challenges us to take a new look at the current boom in independent publishing, the risograph aesthetics, and so on.
