[East Hanover, NJ]: [National Biscuit Company], 1965. Very good.. Nabisco salesman's binder, showcasing the Nabisco brand to grocery retailers. With color images of individual products, several pages illustrating material for retailers (shelf-talkers, store decoration kits, "SWEET SALES SIZZLER" umbrella stands), and sample photographs of the offered display materials as assembled in stores. Of the 160-plus products pictured, some are familiar names still in production, but others have vanished over the decades. Some -- like the aerosol can of shelf-stable shrimp cocktail -- may have departed due to changing tastes, but others -- like the Bacon-Flavored Thins and Chicken in a Biskit Crackers -- were perhaps only ahead of their time. Collected materials can be dated with some precision, as product cards are included for both Snack Mates (introduced in 1965) and Veri-Thin Pretzels (whose name changed in 1968). Vivid 1960s marketing, dripping in notalgia. Ring_bound. 4to. Red ring binder with raised… Read More

First US edition, first printing of the Beat masterpiece, also containing the first book appearances of Burroughs's "Deposition: Testimony concerning a Sickness," and "Letter from a Master Addict to Dangerous Drugs." A landmark novel, it led to several important court decisions on indecency and censorship. Certainly Burroughs's best-known work (it was successfully adapted by David Cronenberg into a fine film of the same name), it is also arguably his best and most enduring as well. One of 3500 copies. Copyright date aside, this edition was not actually published until 1962. And incidentally, there are no "states" of this jacket, contrary to some dealer's listings. There are only later printings of the jacket married to earlier editions of the book (ref. Shoaf). An unusually nice copy. 8'' x 5.25''.

Paris: Olympia Press, 1959. Near fine in a near fine jacket.. First edition, first issue of Burroughs' drug-fueled Beat masterpiece - in exceptional condition. A landmark novel that led to several important court decisions on indecency and censorship.

Indeed, for better or worse, Burroughs's "Interzone" increasingly resembles our current world. Published by Maurice Girodias's infamous Olympia Press, a beautiful example of a highspot of 20th century American literature. 7'' x 4.25''. Original green printed wraps.
