the men's survival resource book: on being a man in today's world
Minneapolis, MN: M.S.R.B. Press, 1978. illustrated with various photos and illustrations by John Blau, Guntis Kupers, Michael Padgett, Jerry Armstrong (Cover Design), and Steve Sack. First Edition. Small 4to. (8.25" x 10.75") in pictorial wraps. Perhaps inspired by the Boston Women's Health Collective's "Women and Their Bodies" (published later as "Our Bodies, Ourselves") this seems to be meant as a companion piece of sorts by the Minneapolis based M.S.R.B. Press. Signed by one of the project coordinators (Peter Blau), this also features some early Steve Sack cartoons.
From the introduction: "The Men's Survival Resource Book is a book by, for and about men. It represents the collective effort of 56 writers (primarily from the Mpls./St. Paul area) who desired to share their experiences and expertise regarding issues that touch the lives of men.
The Men's Survival Resource Book is an attempt to bring new light and life to our lives. It seeks to call attention to ourselves and to raise questions about the male condition in 20th century society. Further, the book is affirming and permission-giving in that it will help you remove some of the role limitations that have traditionally defined maleness and presents, we think, some new directions for men." Very Good. A light cup ring on the front cover, some tanning, and previous owners name to the title page. Item #368
