The author's first work

PELIEU, Claude; [Mary BEACH (translator)]. Automatic Pilot. San Francisco: Fug Press. 1964.

4to. Original white wrappers, front and rear covers lettered in black; half-tone portrait of the author on front cover; stapled binding; minimal pen stain to front cover; foxing to edges; internally clean; otherwise very good.

First edition, first printing, of the extremely scarce first book of the French Beat poet, printed at Ed Sander's Fuck You Press and sold by Lawrence Ferlinghetti's City Lights Books.

The blurb to Automatic Pilot reads, "Claude Pelieu…when asked for biographical info, ..replies with phantom calligraphy". The French artist, poet and translator, Claude Pelieu met his future wife Mary Beach, translator of this work and later the owner of Beach Books, Texts and Documents, in 1962 in France. Together they emigrated to the United States where they forged connections with Sanders and Ferlinghetti and became central figures in the Beat movement. This book was the first fruit of the couple's artistic life in America.

Surprisingly easy to assemble and super useful organizer
I picked this up thinking it would just be a simple little display for a few colognes, but it ended up being way more versatile than I expected. First thing to know is that it does require assembly, which caught me a little off guard, but honestly it was not a big deal at all. The instructions are very clear and everything is labeled nicely, which makes the whole process pretty straightforward. I was able to put it together without any confusion, and all the screw holes lined up really well. That alone deserves some credit because nothing is more annoying than fighting with misaligned parts. Even better, all the screws are the same size, which makes things faster and less frustrating. It even comes with a small screwdriver, which is a nice touch, though I ended up using my own tool to speed things up. The materials feel solid, and the shelves have a slightly soft textured finish that gives it a nicer look than just plain plastic or wood. One of my favorite features is the rotating base. It spins smoothly and makes it easy to access everything without having to move the whole unit around. I originally planned to use it for cologne, but I can already tell it works great for organizing other items too. Things like small gadgets, accessories, cables, even headphones fit nicely depending on the shelf height. Once assembled, it looks clean and modern on a dresser or desk. It is compact but still gives you a good amount of storage space. Overall, this turned out to be a really practical organizer that looks good and does exactly what it is supposed to do. Based on my experience from the setup shown here , I would definitely recommend it if you want something simple, functional, and easy to put together.

Nice but with flaws: ProCase 3-Tier 360° Rotating Perfume Organizer for Men
The ProCase 3-Tier 360° Rotating Perfume Organizer for Men arrived in good condition. I was impressed by the concept of organizing my cologne collection. However, the assembly process was challenging. Matching the holes in some areas was difficult due to blind spots, and I suspect I made my own holes as it’s hard to tell. Once assembled, the product felt insecure. Additionally, some of the paper on the top shelf was peeling. The instructions were easy to follow, but the process itself was flawed. The actual material, aside from the peeling paper, was durable and thick. Unfortunately, this item is currently unavailable, so I can’t determine its price or value.

Easy and quick to assemble, looks great!
My husband loves to collect different fragrances. I could have worse “problems” than him smelling good, I guess! But it has meant bottles galore. I grabbed this to bring some order to the chaos. It arrived in pieces with screws and a little screwdriver (it was so cute!) In all, it took me about ten minutes or less to assemble. It was super easy and the instructions were perfect. The pieces are labeled so there is no doubt you’re doing it right. When putting the spinner on the bottom, there is a hole you can rotate so you can attach the screws one at a time through the hole. It’s very sturdy once put together and holds all the heavy bottles with no issue. It truly does hold a ton! It looks way better than bottles all over the table. The black is very modern and clean looking. I did take photos of a spot where the faux leather was peeling up a bit from the edges, but I was able to use a credit card to smooth it down pretty well. This is a great organizer that look way more expensive than it is. He was super excited when he got home from a late meeting and I had put it together for him. He got right to work loading it up with bottles. And of course, it would be great for makeup or any other things of similar size you would want to organize. A great value to tidy up your space!

This product is not worth the price.
The screws were still very loose even after being tightened, and they couldn't be made to fit tightly. This resulted in the entire product being loose and unsteady. I spent 31 US dollars on this defective item. I'm very regretful. I will return it. The overall workmanship is not perfect. It's too bad!!!
