Slim octavo 22cm; publisher's illustrated staple-bound wraps; unpaginated; illustrations and images throughout. Lightly bumped and toned; binding sound. A few annotations in blue ink. Very Good.

Provides a brief history of Ford Theater where Lincoln's very real assassination took place as well as a description of John Wilkes Booth's genealogy. Features fabricated contributions by Booth's extended family and an absurdly long aside about Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind's relationship with P.T. Barnum.

1968réf. 140947056New York: The Pacifist Anarchist Bisexual Psychedelic Conspiracy 1968. Four original 8.5 x 11" single-sided leaflets on various colors of paper by a student group calling itself The Pacifist Anarchist Bisexual Psychedelic Conspiracy which displayed a punky insouciance that was ten years ahead of its time. One titled "Fuck You Punk Freshmen" envisions the first-year students as the oppressed masses who get a talking-to from the group and advice to "smoke dope. gethigh.high." and "ORGASM." Another leaflet is dated in the then-future October 2001 and lists a bunch of abbreviations of radical groups at the time starting with S.D.S. All but the "Freshmen" leaflet are in Near Fine condition; that one shows creases from being folded in eighths. Rare fanciful concrete poetry-influenced and sometimes obtuse protest art from the height of the 1960s at Columbia University. [The Pacifist Anarchist Bisexual Psychedelic Conspiracy] unknown books

Led by Arthur Thistlewood the event known as the Cato Street Conspiracy was an attempt to murder all of the ministers and prime minister of King George IV in 1820. Motivated in part by the economic depression of the period the conspirators wished to avenge earlier protests suppressed by the state such as the Peterloo Massacre. The conspirator's goal was to overthrow the government and initiate a revolution similar to the French Revolution. Betrayed by one of the co-conspirators Thistlewood and four others were captured tried and executed. There are many accounts of this trial nearly all published in London. This account printed by John Barr is rare. Library Hub locates 1 copy at the British Library.

A collection of newsletters from the early days of the Food Conspiracy Cooperative established in Tucson in 1971 and still in existence today. The food conspiracy movement originated in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1968 and soon developed into a network of autonomous collectives. Members combined their resources to buy in bulk from farmers and suppliers allowing them to access better food at lower prices. The Tucson co-op's commitment to affordable health foods was part of a broader anti-capitalist ethos. "The basic purpose of the Food Conspiracy is to serve the needs of the people" begins Article 7 of the bylaws. "We feel that our purpose would be to provide an economic political and social alternative to the individualistic capitalistic society." The scrappy newsletters are filled with information about women's health United Farm Workers strikes the American Indian Movement and much more providing a window into the turbulence and optimism of 1970s radical liberation movements.
