Please Plant This Book is Richard Brautigan's sixth poetry publication. It consists of a folded and glued folder containing eight seed packets. On the front of each is a poem. This was Brautigan's last self-publishing venture and came out in an edition of 6,000. The entire edition was offered for free distribution, and 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's one of the harder items 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
