Esoterrorist: Selected Essays 1980-1988 by Genesis P-Orridge, as released in an edition of 600 numbered copies, including 500 softcover copies [shown], 77 hardcover copies, and 23 leather copies. This was published by OV-Press (Denver, Colorado, US) in 1989.

Brion Gysin contributes a letter to Genesis P-Orridge, p. 43, within the larger context of an essay on Gysin by P-Orridge, pp. 42-45, entitled “His Name Was Master.”

This copy is 423/500 softcover copies.

In the archive I also have #390/500, which was acquired from Red Letter Books (Boulder, Colorado, US) in the 1990s. 

In 1994, MediaKaos/Alecto Enterprises (San Francisco) republished Esoterrorist as Esoterrorist II. Despite the name, this is the same book, same format, as a new edition with new cover art, without a few images of Genesis and Paula P-Orridge at the end. The edition size of this second edition is not disclosed.

The copy I have of this second edition was inscribed by Genesis P-Orridge, in 1997.
