Given how fast the first edition of “Good Habits, Clean Living: A Tribute to Major Taylor” sold out it seemed only right to do a second edition (the many requests for another run helped as well!) This new zine features new colors to distinguish it from the first edition. There are 100 copies, each signed and numbered. In addition to the new zine, I am very excited to announce that a limited edition (100) letterpress prints will be available as well! These are being printed at Repeat Press in Somerville, MA early this week.
RECAP: Marshall Major Taylor (a velodrome world champion from Worcester, MA), renowned as The Fastest Bicycle Rider In The World in the early 1900’s, accredits his success as a world champion to the value of good habits and clean living.
His guidelines:
Don’t try to “gyp.”
Don’t be a pie biter.
Don’t keep late hours.
Don’t use intoxicants.
Don’t be a big bluffer.
Don’t eat cheap candies.
Don’t get a swelled head.
Don’t use tobacco in any form.
Don’t fail to live a clean life.
Don’t forget to play the game fair.
Don’t take in unfair advantage of an opponent.
Don’t forget the practice of good sportsmanship.
