Description:
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Gently bumped corners. Areas of very light creasing and rubbing to the covers, but no other notable wear. Hard to find in such nice shape. Agel (producer) and Fiore (designer) are the same creative team behind The Medium Is the Massage, and this unique presentation of Fuller's techno-utopian ideals is in some ways even more adventurous than the better-known McLuhan book. Although Fiore was trained in traditional bookmaking techniques, including papermaking and hand lettering, he later began engaging in design experiments that presaged the relentless but often choppy information flow of the internet. This book is a great example—an aphoristic barrage, accessed at any point, expressing Fuller's concept of dymaxion (a portmanteau of the words dynamic, maximum, and tension): 'I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process—an integral function of the universe.' Two fragmentary texts, one printed in black and the other in green, run counter to one…

Description:
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. A few turned corners and some edge-wear, but only light wear overall. Design by Dennis J. Grastorf. Cover design by Philip Pascuzzo. The title page credits Kiyoshi Kuromiya as 'adjuvant', and indeed the renowned activist went on to tour with Fuller post-publication. Kuromiya, born in Wyoming in a World War II–era internment camp, has a biography that spans twentieth-century political movements to an almost superhuman extent: he was an aide to and close friend of Martin Luther King Jr., cofounder of Gay Liberation Front Philadelphia, and the instigator of the largest antiwar demonstration in the history of the University of Pennsylvania. Kuromiya drew thousands to the protest when he printed up flyers, credited to a fictional group called the Americong, claiming a dog would be publicly burned in front of the Van Pelt Library in protest of the American use of napalm in Vietnam; on the day of the rally, outraged attendants were given another…

Description:
Clean, unmarked interior. Spine is square and tight. There is some general shelf-wear to the cover, including light edge-wear and a subtle crease to the upper fore-edge corner of the front cover. Cover design by Jim Fleming. In the preface to this innovative collection of translations, Rabinowitz defines his method as 'historical' (as opposed to 'free' or 'academic') by calling attention to the idiom, 'by the skin of my teeth'. The phrase, he asserts, as spoken by a beleaguered Job, really means, 'I escaped with nothing but the teeth in my head'; translators made uncomfortable by the idea of an unjust God have obscured this intent. The cover collage by James Koehnline perfectly captures the 'erotic, pagan, aristocratic, impious and elegant' nature of Rabinowitz's take on Kingdom-period Hebrew literature. 156 pp.

Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Only the gentlest of shelf-wear. Translated by James B. Harris. Influenced by Western mystery writers like Edgar Allan Poe (his nom de plume is a phonetic approximation of 'The Raven' author's name), Rampo was censored during the leadup to World War II by the Japanese government for his story, 'The Caterpillar', which tells of a veteran's appalling disfigurement. This edition, with its hard-to-find cover featuring a drawing by Masakazu Kuwata, was translated orally by Rampo reading each sentence to Harris, who could speak but not read Japanese. 222 pp. Fiction.

Description:
Tight, square spine has some cosmetic creasing. Clean, unmarked interior. Some very minor shelf-wear and toning to the pages. 'Outside, the rain is coming furiously,' Rechy writes in this classic hustling chronicle that a contemporary New York Times review said ''show[s] the grubby, lonely, nearly psychotic underside of such a life.' The unnamed narrator 'stand[s] under the marquee wondering where to go. . . . reacting instinctively to this world, studying the stances of other obviously drifting youngmen.' The book, which would go on to inspire My Own Private Idaho, gets a Ballantine mass-market treatment here with a cover that's a colorized, only slightly more sexy riff on the Grove Press first edition. Texas-born Rechy, who was influenced by sources ranging from comic books to Dostoevsky to Margaret Mitchell, retired from cruising at the ripe age of 60 and now lives in domestic bliss with raunchy-comedy producer Michael Ewing, watched over in their Encino home by outsize lithographs of Joan Crawford…

Description:
Tight, square spine. Clean, unmarked interior. No notable shelf-wear to the book. Some light edge-wear to the jacket. Jacket photo by Mark Gibson. 'Through those shadowy alcoves,' reads the jacket copy of this quantity-focused tale of sexual conquest, 'as a gallery of sexhunters emerges, [Johnny Rio] sets out to discover whether he is really still handsome and desirable.' To avoid the legal troubles still common for publishers in the late 1960s, Grove Press encouraged simple, non-incendiary designs for potentially controversial titles, as seen here in designer Roy Kuhlman's stark tempering of a staticky come-hither portrait of Rechy by tricolored all-business type (the publisher would soon buck the trend with its Evergreen Black Cat edition of the novel, featuring a nude male model photographed by Jean-François Bauret). Another depiction of Rechy graces the back flap, this one by longtime Christopher Isherwood companion, artist Don Bachardy, who met the Goodbye to Berlin author on Valentine's Day in…

Cover illustration by Wilbur McCauley. A collection of essays first published in Crowley's journal, The Equinox, and here prefaced and expanded by Regardie, whose on-again, off-again relationship with The Beast began in 1928 when the younger man moved to Paris to work as his secretary. Nine years later, after Regardie returned to the US, the two had a falling out via correspondence: Crowley, making fun of Regardie's adoption of the name, Francis (after St. Francis of Assissi), dismissively addressed him as 'Frank', and Regardie responded by calling Crowley both 'Alice' and 'a contemptible bitch'. 241 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.

Description:
Spine is tight, but has some cosmetic creasing. Clean, unmarked interior. A few areas of light soiling to the edges and some toning to the covers. An essential title by the discoverer of orgone, whose work was famously banned by opposing governments. Leading up to WWII, German newspapers decried him as a communist, Jew, and advocate of free love, and the Nazi Party prohibited distribution of his publications in 1933, causing him to emigrate to the US; more than two decades later, following an FDA injunction, six tons of Reich's books, journals, and papers were burned by officials at New York's Gansevoort incinerator. 'He was a nineteenth-century mind who came crashing into twentieth-century America,' said Reich's son, Peter, of his father. 'And boom!' 545 pp. Comparative Religion.
