198176492London: Nold Jonson books 1981. First edition. Octavo. 5 141 pp. Publisher’s black cloth with silver spine lettering in the dust jacket with an image of a marijuana plant on the front. An excellent copy of the first edition.“Mind-Sprung is not merely the best book about drugs since Confessions of an English Opium Eater and one of the best books ever written about settling in a foreign country it is also on of the most startling portrayals in recent years of what is happening in contemporary Britain. The collapse of British civilization as we know it seems to have measurably closer with the publication of this book.†from jacket flap. In the introduction we learn further that the author “was killed in a shoot-out with the Estonian People’s Militia during the course of an attack on an atomic power station near Lake Pskov†no such group and no such power plant. There is some evidence that Michael Lindsay was a pseudonym for English historian novelist and hoaxer A. D. Harvey. He originated a hoax claiming that Charles Dickens met Fyodor Dostoyevsky and has published under a variety of other pseudonyms including Stephanie Harvey Stephen Harvey Graham Headley Trevor McGovern John Schellenberger Leo Bellingham Ludovico Parra and Janis Blodnieks. There is an entire chapter devoted to hashish history. Nold Jonson books hardcover

Devine 1943 and evangelist Earle Albert Rowell’s Battling The Wolves of Society:The Narcotics Evil 1929 and On the Trail of Marijuana: The Weed of Madness1939 fanned the flames of pot paranoia.

An offprint revised of the first book appearance of this talk - the first and only occasion Huxley and Leary lectured together. "The XIV International Conference of Applied Psychology took place in Copenhagen Aug. 13-19 1961. In addition to Leary Frank Barron of the Harvard psychology department and author Aldous Huxley were also invited to speak.Huxley's lecture was entitled "Visionary Experience"; it was delivered earlier than Leary's and concludes with a reference to Leary's upcoming lecture "We shall hear from Dr. Leary about the induction of such experiences by such substances as psilocybin". Barron's talk contains the first reference in print to his "commending the mushroom to the attention of Dr. Leary who immediately seized upon its possibilities as a vehicle for inducing change in behavior as a result of the altered state of consciousness which the drug produced" HOROWITZ WALLS & SMITH AA23D. Huxley who had written extensively about his psychedelic experiences under the influence of mescaline in Doors of Perception 1954 here writes about the pursuit of the visionary experience as a vehicle for change and a more beautiful reality. He elaborates on the various methods of access to the visionary world including spontaneous induced and chemical access with separate sections on the usage of mushrooms and how light can enhance the visionary experience. This and the first separate printing are substantially expanded from the two which precede them both produced by mimeograph and issued in small numbers. BROMER B113. Munksgaard unknown

Subsequent articles like "Is Smoking More Injurious to Women Than Men" and "Why Women and Children Smoke" are offered by Dr. Bertha Van Hoosen and Gertrude Charny though the real highlight is "Alcohol: 50 Questions Answer Scientifically" which asks such inane questions as "What is alcohol" "What is meant by intoxicating" and "What is a poison".

196857041San Francisco: Frank Reynolds / Hells Angels Motorcycle Club 1968. First Edition. Quarto 26.75cm; twelve 12 five-color broadsides measuring 20cm X 26cm printed on rectos only and housed in an illustrated portfolio on glossy cardstock. A few stress creases and some subtle toning along the spine-fold of the portfolio else Fine. <br /> <br /> An off-the-wall collection of free-form poems written by Freewheelin' Frank Reynolds former Secretary of the San Francisco chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club. The broadsides reproduce hand-lettered illustrated poems written by Reynolds in the mid-1960's printed by the Diggers and issued the year after his 1967 memoir written with Michael McClure. Content ranges from personal history and camaraderie within the club to things of a more mystical and metaphysical nature - references to Satan astrological signs alternately written in an optimistic tone or with a pervading sense of doom. The mystical and metaphysical realm would continue to hold Reynolds's attention through his later life. After leaving the Angels Reynolds spent 5 years in Soldedad Prison on an arson charge; while doing time McClure sent him a book by Zen master Shunryu Suzuki Roshi to help him clear his head which Reynolds credited with saving his life. He spent the remaining years of his life living in the mountains next to a waterfall where he spent his days meditating in isolation. One of the most interesting documents created by any Hells Angels club members one that epitomizes the spirit of the 1960's and outsider art. OCLC notes 18 holdings in US institutions.

1966CAT0204New York: UPI Roto Service 1966. First Edition. Photocopy of a typed manuscript 8-½ x 11 in. 12 pp. printed recto only sl. chipping and toning at edges; together with an additional copy of the typed manuscript; a License to Use Your Head order form for Leary’s Future History book series no date; and seven of eight “Man of Visions†silver gelatin prints 8 x 10 in. each dated May 28 1966 with caption leaves and UPI Press stamps verso. Near Fine. Journalist Joe O’Sullivan visited Timothy Leary’s community in Millbrook New York twice in 1966. Following these visits he released two interviews with Leary on the UPI Roto Service. This interview unpublished and unrecorded in Leary’s bibliography is the second of the two interviews. The interview offers detailed descriptions of Leary’s daily life and providing an ordinary context for his controversial work. Leary gives laconic answers to O’Sullivan’s questions about drugs the counterculture free love Viet Nam sic and the communal life at Millbrook occasionally proffering a bit of unasked for advice including on the author’s children. “Let them turn you on … Treat them as little gods and goddesses.â€<br /> <br /> The photos taken to accompany the first interview similarly reflect O’Sullivan’s interest in the mundane: e.g. poignant detailed vignettes of a shrine to Rosemary Woodruff soon to be Leary’s wife while she was doing jail time for marijuana possession. We find no evidence that either interview was ever published. The first article “Man of Visions†is referenced in our typescript’s caption and was “serviced to UPI Roto Service clients in the package of May 28 1966†the same date as the present photo-series which presumably accompanied it.<br /> <br /> Both articles would have appeared before Leary’s landmark Playboy interview was published in September 1966 which the annotated Leary bibliography lists as his first published interview Horowitz Walls & Smith D1 . Surprisingly there is no reference in Horowitz to either of the earlier O’Sullivan UPI articles though a short third article “God and Timothy Leary†was published in Dec. 1966 Howoritz et al. D3. Some of the photographs from “Man of Visions†are known from other sources a few seemingly unpublished. Materials are in excellent condition with minimal wear. UPI Roto Service unknown
