Thanks for Coming! Author’s duplicated typescript of an early draft, with substantial differences from the published version and featuring holograph corrections, revisions and annotations in the copy throughout. Offered together with both editions of Thanks for Coming!, published thirty years apart, the first SIGNED and inscribed by Haynes’s close friend and co-founder of the Traverse Theatre, Richard Demarco, the latter SIGNED and inscribed by Haynes.

The typescript comprises 215 quarto-size duplicated sheets, printed rectos only, and bears some resemblance to the final book (published by Faber in 1984), but provides a far more detailed autobiographical account of Haynes’s life and work.

Divided into ten lettered sections, the first part deals with his childhood and reads more as notes towards a first chapter but, as with everything that follows, gives a far higher degree of detail than the finished book (the section's final four pages, for example, prints a transcript from his Cassette Gazette 1 of “An interview I made with my Grandmother Haynes in her home in Shongaloo, Louisiana, the summer of 1970”).

Similarly, Haynes’s move to Edinburgh in 1956 and subsequent establishment of the Paperback Bookshop and Traverse Theatre is written about in greater depth (including an entire section on Jack Henry Moore that didn’t make the cut), though not always with complete accuracy: a reference to playwright Fiona McCulloch, for example, appears with the author’s name misspelt and gender misidentified. After his arrival in London and the story of the Arts Lab, the chronology of the manuscript varies from the book, as does the section on Amsterdam and the creation of Suck and the Wet Dream Film Festivals.

All these parts, like the final Paris section, add significantly more personal history, detail and information: several lengthy passages are devoted to personal or sexual encounters, and friendships, all restricted in the book to limited mentions, if at all.

Intended by Haynes as a “participatory autobiography”, the manuscript also features contributions that don’t appear in the book, including from the actors Nancy Cole and Leonard Fenton, playwright and director, Charles Marowitz, and the filmmaker Kristin Glover; as well as an interview between the screenwriter/director Catherine Foussadier (who lived for a time with Haynes) and ‘Jezebel’; Haynes’ unpublished 7pp. “Interview with Myself” (the transcript of a conversation between Haynes and Jack Henry Moore from 1974); and a lengthy 10pp. interview with Haynes by the American journalist, Lisa Schlein.

The published edition that eventually emerged in 1984 was a heavily re-worked version of the manuscript, though filled as the book is with press cuttings, letters, photographs and ephemera, it resembles a scrapbook as much as it does a memoir. A new (though poorly copy edited) edition (Thanks for Coming! Encore! Edinburgh: Polwarth Publishing, 2014) added a brief postscript and further illustrations. Both editions are included here, the latter signed and inscribed by Haynes in 2016, the former with a lengthy signed presentation inscription from Richard Demarco, co-founder of the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh (with Haynes, John Calder and Kenneth Tynan) and organiser of the gallery space above it: “To my Demarco Gallery world in Edinburgh Born out of the Traverse and the story Jim Haynes does not tell in this book… 11/8/1992.”

Duplicated typescript in Very Good condition, contained in worn manila envelope with Haynes’s ink inscription “Copy for Jack Moore & Bill Levy”. First edition of Thanks for Coming! slightly worn, with diagonal crease to upper wrapper and marks to (uncreased) spine; small bump to head of spine of Thanks for Coming! Encore!, o/w Near Fine.
