He later went on to be a Member of Parliament and a director of the Royal Bank of Scotland. First edition (issued without a date or a printing statement). A very good or better copy in a very good dust jacket with a bit of chipping to the top of the spine.

Description:
[Avalanche Records], 1971. A rare example of original album cover art by one of the legends of the medium. John Van Hamersveld (b. Baltimore, 1941) designed the iconic poster for the surf film Endless Summer while still in art school. As a professional graphic designer he did the album covers for The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour, the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St, plus LPs by Big Brother and the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, Bob Dylan, Blondie, and even Charles Bukowski (Reads His Poetry, 1980). This is an original painting on acetate for the cover of Beans self-titled debut (and only) album for Avalanche Records, a nascent label under United Artists Records. The Day-Glo design is based on Van Hamersveld's character Johnny Face, which appeared on popular headshop posters beginning in 1970. As far as your cataloger can tell, very little of Van Hamersveld's original album cover art is in private hands, making this a rare opportunity to acquire an original piece-one featuring his most…

Description:
New York: Citadel Press, 1958. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. An early anthology of the Beat writers, including Jack Kerouac, Carl Solomon, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs (and William Lee), along with literary criticism by Kenneth Rexroth, and others. 384 pages. A book that tells a story about Larry McMurtry as a book scout. While he was also a Pulitzer Prize- and Academy Award-winning author, he was, most of the time, a bookseller first. This copy belonged to the acclaimed Texan Rolling Stone journalist Grover Lewis, who was a friend of McMurtry going back to their college days. Apparently, Lewis acquired this book in 1958, when he wrote his name on the front free endpaper. At some later point, the book ended up with an antiquarian bookseller, who catalogued it as having a "name inked on front free endpaper." Somehow, McMurtry either found this book in a bookstore or in one of many of the bookstores he bought out in their entirety. McMurtry saw his friend's name in the book,…
