1989140940817No Place: No Publisher 1989. Near Fine. Comb-bound printed on sheets of various colors. Unpaginated. Near Fine with light wear. A thick collection of Grateful Dead lyrics plus lyrics to songs the Dead often covered. A memento of rabid Deadhead culture at the close of the '80s transcribed by the anonymous Deadeditor by hand from listening to various tapes; tape-trading being one of the most popular pursuits in the subculture. According to said editor in the intro "This book was not xeroxed out of another lyric book nor was it copied out of Dead songbooks. Anything that was taken from another source was looked over and corrected to the best of my ability." Also notable for the time was that it was written on a Macintosh SE computer writing on a computer was a strange new thing for many people then believe it or not and "the final copy was printed on a NEC Silent Writer laser printer." The title is taken from the band's classic song "Ripple" off the 1970 studio LP American Beauty. Rare with a single institutional copy located in a recent OCLC WorldCat search.

193443069n.d. but 1934. Original clean copy typescript poem; 9ll. on onionskin; previous mail folds ex-Mooney Papers Bancroft Library with their small rubberstamps to each leaf else Very Good and sound. Lengthy unpublished ballad of 86 4- and 5-line stanzas recounting the plight of iron molder and IWW leader Tom Mooney from his birth to the present date 1934 based on the penultimate stanza on p. 6 describing Judge Griffin: "all these eighteen years since the 1916 trial / Has fought on Mooney's side". Though no author is provided the poet has a detailed knowledge of Mooney's biography and trial beginning before his birth with his father "A tall trade-union Irishman / Choking his lungs out mining coal"; progressing to Mooney's early childhood helping his widowed mother make ends meet as a paperboy; and the first trial against him after dynamite was found or planted on a boat in the San Pablo Bay a crime for which he was exonerated. The poem additionally recounts the first meetings between Mooney and Warren K. Billings as well as the tireless travel and work his mother and sister shouldered to bring justice after it was revealed that the star witness Frank Oxman had perjured himself. The poem ends with the heartbreaking death of Mother Mooney who was laid in state at the gates of San Quentin and the mournful plea: "Warren Billings is forty years old. / Tom Mooney's hair grows white. / How soon will California turn / Her long long wrong to right" Another five years would pass before liberal Governor Culbert Olson would pardon him in 1939. unknown books
