Please Plant This Book is the sixth poetry publication by American writer Richard Brautigan. The collection consists of a glued folder containing eight seed packets, with a poem printed on the front of each. The book was Brautigan's last self-publishing venture and the edition ran 6,000 copies. The entire edition was offered for free distribution; permission to reprint the collection was explicitly granted, as long as the new printing was also offered free of charge. Although a relatively large edition for an early Brautigan work, it is a rather hard item to find. The eight poem titles and associated seed packets are as follows: California Native Flowers Calendula Carrots Lettuce Sweet Alyssum Royal Carpet Squash Shasta Daisy Parsley Source: Wikipedia (en)
