Bibliography

I've made some additions, corrections, and copyedits to the bibliography. First, in each book (at least that I've got on hand) the book titles are given as "RE/Search #xx". The number sign doesn't look "clean" in my opinion but that's how the published titles are given. Second, #8/9 was not The Atrocity Exhibition, but was about Ballard in general. Third, I've un-linked the years of publication, as clicking on 1984, for example, does not provide any further info pertinent to the book itself. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:13, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Andrea Juno

I notice that Andrea Juno is not mentioned. I understand that she and Vale had a parting of ways some time in the 1990s. I had always assumed that she and Vale co-published RE/Search so I am wondering why she was omitted. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:13, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree with this. Andrea Juno made significant contributions to the glory days of RE/Search and her role should be mentioned here. I hope I am posting my thoughts correctly--I didn't want to just edit the page, I am sure there is someone who knows much more than I do and could do it. Oldbklyn (talk) 22:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Although Andrea Juno was a staff member and contributor to early RE/Search issues, she was not a RE/Search founder, nor was she a RE/Search editor. This has been erroneously reported, falsely becoming part of RE/Search history.

The first printings of the first seven publications do not list her as a publisher or an editor. Her name appears in reprints, however as she had added her name to the masthead. In publications dating from 1986 to 1994 she was credited as publisher/editor, but she was not an initial founder of RE/Search.

Andrea Juno also happened to be a girlfriend of V. Vale when he started RE/Search, thus her participation. Their breakup eventually led to legal disputes over the publication, which she did not, in fact, found, as evidenced in the original Business DBA registration and in the initial printings of the first seven books and tabloid issues.

I'm sorry, but this is simply untrue. I have a number of original RE/Search volumes and Andrea is clearly listed as "Publisher" along with Vale. Moreover, I briefly worked with Vale and AJ in the mid-90s, and can attest that Andrea was an active editor of RE/Search projects at the time. I have no stake in the matter--I've not talked to either Vale or AJ in over 25 years--but I don't think you can just change history because it suits you. It is also highly improper for the current proprietor of this publication to be actively editing his own wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.177.236.178 (talk) 17:06, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

startup funding

This article claims that Vale rec'd. $100 from Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, but the V.Vale article says $200. Can we get the actual amount and match it to both articles?

I wouldn't know where to begin to look, but obviously at least one is incorrect.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.61.59.90 (talk • contribs) 21:54, 26 September 2007

• • Note: On Re/Search Pubs website, Vale himself says "$100", so I altered the Vale article to read correctly.

Official RE/Search site claims Ferlinghetti and Ginsberg provided $100 each, so back to $200. Abusepotential (talk) 17:03, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Dennis and Carol Hamby also contributed a check of $200 for the publication's initial funding, as well as an anonymous donor who contributed a check of $25. The $425 given by the various donors plus funds from V. Vale's own personal savings accounted for the first print run of Search & Destroy, a 16-page, 11x17" tabloid. -- researchpubs (talk) 02:37, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
