Please Plant This Book
1968 book by Richard Brautigan / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please Plant This Book is the sixth volume of poetry published by American writer Richard Brautigan. The collection consists of a glued folder containing eight seed packets, with a poem printed on the front of each.[1] The book was Brautigan's last self-publishing venture.[2] The edition had a run of 6,000 free copies.[3] The entire edition was offered for free distribution; permission to reprint the collection was explicitly granted, as long as the new printing was also offered free of charge. Although a relatively large edition for an early Brautigan work, it is now considered a rarity.
