Minus One (1963)

Minus One (1963) is the first long-running journal edited by Sidney E. Parker. Though an issue of Minus One (1963) was named “EGO”, and a few issues of this run are titled “The Egoist”, the numbering began with Minus One No. 1 Sept. 1963 and is sequential until Minus One No.44, 1980.

The Union of Egoists have obtained issues of Minus One in various forms, from originals (see our scan to the right) to microfiche and even some transcribed essays. We will endeavor to prepare these for the web as we’re able to. We will also be able to fill in missing information from the index below, as we process the files.

Misc items:

Index of PP1420-1422
John Zube compiled an index of his favorite articles from Minus One that he’d archived on microfiche.

Letter from J. Zube to S.E.P + Letter from S.E.P to M. Coughlin
On January 1st, 1966, Mr. Zube also sent a long letter to Sidney Parker with tips on how to make his journal better, and discussing anarchy and the problems with it. On the last page we see a reprinted letter from Sid to Mike Coughlin of The Dandelion (1977).
