Description:
New York: David McKay, 1957. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. viii, 275 pp. Green cloth with gilt spine lettering. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket, unclipped ($4.00). Spine panel sunned, jacket rubbed along edges with a few small chips and nicks. A bestselling expose of the use of psychological techniques in advertising. Its influence has extended far beyond the book's original context-- laughably sexualized and manipulative ads for cigarettes, cars with fins, pills for "harried housewife syndrome" etc.-- to inform the way consumers see ads to this day. As media critic Mark Crispin Miller noted in the 50th-anniversary reissue's foreword, no other "popular critique of advertising moved the public, or changed their views of that essential corporate craft, as deeply or enduringly.

Description:
[New York?]. Near Fine. circa 1969-1971. Silk-screen poster, 17" x 22, thin fragile yellow paper printed in red and blue. Near Fine with minor wear on bottom edge. The Panther 21 was a group of twenty-one Black Panther members who were arrested and accused of planned coordinated bombing and long-range rifle attacks on two police stations and an education office in New York City in 1969, who were all acquitted by a jury in May 1971, after revelations during the trial that police infiltrators played key organizing roles. A very scarce poster with none traced in a recent OCLC search, though two holdings list a smaller poster with the same title with the credit line of the Committee to Defend the Panthers.

Description:
Los Angeles: Feral House, 2000. Signed by Adam Parfrey, contributor and editor, on the title page in red ink. xii, 458 pp. Bound in publisher's wraps. Second printing of the first edition. Near Fine with bumping to top corner, some sticker schmutz on rear cover. Uncommon signed.The follow-up to Parfrey's original anthology Apocalpyse Culture, first published in 1987 by his initial publishing concern, Amok Press, and then heavily revised when reprinted by his imprint Feral House. The book had a huge cultural impact, acting as a gateway drug for many readers, introducing them to wild fringe ideas and obscure figures that, pre-internet, they probably never would have encountered otherwise. This sequel is in many ways a stiffer drink, attempting to encompass some of the profoundly disturbing weirdness the internet had begun to unleash on culture. It ends, fittingly enough, with a satirical short story by the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, about the foolhardiness of embracing identity politics in the face of…

New York: Frederick H. Hitchcock, 1927. First Edition. Author's Autograph Edition, signed by Maurice Parmelee. Copy 91 of an unspecified limitation, issued in advance of the first edition. xiv, 303 pp. Bound in publisher's green cloth with gilt lettering. Near Fine with fraying at head, light shelf wear, former owner's name written on front free endpaper. Rare in the trade in any early edition, let alone in this advance signed issue. The author was a distinguished economist, criminologist, sociologist, and diplomat before resigning from the American government in 1923 and spending the next few years traveling and writing on a variety of subjects including world politics and the topic of this book: the philosophy of nudism. It would reprinted numerous times as Nudism in Modern Life, eventually to be an albatross around his neck when he had returned to public life and ran afoul of Congressman Martin Dies, who accused him of political and moral subversion. A key text in the American nudist movement as…

Description:
Waldport, Oregon: Untide Press, 1946. First Edition, Likely Second Impression. Near Fine. First edition, likely second impression. (According to Morgan the first and second impressions are identical. All but roughly 30 copies of the first impression were scrapped due to a printing mishap.) [35] pp. Heavy black wraps with slick white label wrapped around fold. A Near Fine copy with a little rubbing to label, thumb crease, and light shelf wear, but still very clean and sharp. This little chapbook, designed by Kemper Nomland, Jr. was printed in a WWII conscientious objectors' camp after regular work hours. City Lights founder Lawrence Ferlinghetti admired a copy, noting how the white label stylishly obscured the staples beneath that bound it, and copied it for his Pocket Poets series, which would prove to have some of the most iconic Beat poetry books such as Allen Ginsberg's Howl.

Description:
New York: The American National Party, 1962. Rare original broadside of a splinter-group from The American Nazi Party, The American National Party, co-founded by the disaffected right-hand man of George Lincoln Rockwell, John Patler (born John Patsalos). The group's other founder was Daniel Burros, who died (reputedly of suicide) after being exposed as being of Jewish heritage by The New York Times in 1965. Patler would rejoin the Nazi Party but then five years later assassinate Rockwell at an Arlington, Virginia laundromat, briefly gaining national notoriety. He would later change his name back to Patsalos (from the Hitlerian "Patler") and repudiate his earlier racism. 8.5" x 14". Very Good+. Folded in fours, faint date of 1962 written along bottom margin in pencil. An interesting snapshot of the tumultuous American far right political scene in the early '60s.
