Circle Editions

George Leite began Circle Editions in 1945 as an outgrowth of Circle Magazine, which was published from his Berkeley, California bookstore and gallery, daliel's (stylized with lowercase 'd').[1] Producing avant-garde, experimental work, the volumes included pamphlets, hardbound books, and two phonograph recordings by creative talents such as Henry Miller, Lawrence Hart (poet), Lawrence Durrell, Albert Cossery, Harry Partch and others.[2] More editions were planned, but with the suspension of publication of Circle Magazine after Issue 10 in 1948, and the later closure of daliel's in 1952, the enterprise ended.[3]
