An original flyer for Indica Books and Gallery, designed by Miles and Paul McCartney (c. February 1966).

Printed in black, recto and verso, on white stock. 16.5x10.4cm.

The flyer was distributed to announce the opening of Indica and features a map based on an original drawing by Paul McCartney showing the location of Mason’s Yard (the cross-hatching is his). The other side of the flyer announces Indica’s “free catalogue of rare, modern-first-editions and literary ephemera.. ESP and spoken-word.. Experimental art from S. America, Italy, France, U.S.A. INTERNATIONAL”.

McCartney was the bookshop’s first customer, selecting books by Ed Sanders, Anselm Hollo, Ghandi and Robert S. De Ropp from stock that Miles had bought and stored in the basement of the Asher family’s Wimpole Street home prior to the opening.
