A VERY GOOD FIRST EDITION 1966 Panama Rose was the pen name of Rosalind Schwartz whose partner at the time was poet underground filmmaker publisher and photographer Ira Cohen. From around 1961-1965 they lived together in Tangier Morocco where they spent time with other ex-pats Paul Bowles William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin and worked on music and publications. Schwartz wrote The Hashish Cookbook at the suggestion of Brion Gysin who years earlier had given Alice B. Toklas the hashish fudge recipe that appears in The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book. Often The Hashish Cookbook is wrongly attributed as being written by Cohen himself though he did publish it when he returned to New York in 1966. GNAOUA Paperback
