Published in 1969, Max is the earliest publication by Ray Di Palma (credited as “Raymond Di Palma” on the book’s cover), a prolific poet and visual artist who would publish over forty books in his lifetime. The colophon memorably describes Max as being printed using “tired, old Octavian 14 point with Neuland and Hadriano for titles” on Warren’s Old Style paper.
