My Struggle by Booji Boy
1st Pressing - No title on cover

Very hard to find bound book written & illustrated by Mark Mothersbaugh/Devo. This is a 1st edition. Here's what I know, from the only printer of My Struggle:

“This is an authentic 1st Edition of MY STRUGGLE by Mark Mothersbaugh. I printed it and bound it with bee frame nails during the summer of 1978. The first edition had both red & yellow leatherette covers because i ran out of the red, which was the original plan. I printed the pages 4 up on 81/2 x 11 paper on my multilith 850 and used a borrowed paper cutter to quarter them....i delivered half of the printing of 700 copies unassembled to Mark; the ones I did were put together with beehive frame nails bent over, which i assembled...i dont know how Mark assembed his half of the first printing. The one shown here must have been Mark's doing, because i didnt use the gold inlaid cover printing. A substantial number of the ones i assembled have a red ribbon glued into the spine, to be used like a prayerbook marker.”

This version is slightly bigger than the version with “My Struggle” printed on the cover. (seems that the printer cropped the pages a little larger than Mark did when he had his copies bound). There is no light-blue/green intro page, and no "This Book Belongs To" stamp.

Mine doesn't include the prayer ribbon, unfortunately.
