1937Best.-Nr. 14666New York: Dodd Mead and Company. Good. 1937. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket moderately worn copy half of ffep torn away light dampstain on rear cover spine turned front jacket text glued to front pastedown. Scarce crime novel in which a detective and an orchestra leader team up to solve the murder of a notorious gamber/gangster. "A vivid picture of New York after dark. Gangsters chorus girls and society looking for a thrill move through these pages adding color and character to a story that races along on a high note of exciting suspense." Touted on the jacket blurb as the author's "latest novel" omitting to mention that he had actually been dead for a couple of years since February 1935. This didn't seem to put much of a crimp in his output however this being the fifth of six novels to appear posthumously -- and the only one to bear his wife's name as co-author which would seem to imply that the others had already been finished at the time of his demise. .

1971Best.-Nr. 43806Hull: Hull University 1971. First Edition. Very good. Original poster for an Afro Rock event at Hull University featuring one of the most important bands of the movement Assagai. Afro Rock which had its strongest incarnation in the UK in the late sixties and early seventies combined Western rock instrumentation with African and Afro-Cuban rhythms and percussion. Assagai featured emegrees from both South Africa and Nigeria as well a Ghana; the lineup included drummer Louis Moholo trumpeter/flautist Mongezi Feza alto saxophonist Dudu Pukwana tenor saxophonist Bizo Mngqikana guitarist/bassist Fred Coker their chief songwriter and Terri Quaye - the first professional female congaist in the UK. Assagai issued just two highly-reguarded albums both in 1971 on Vertigo Records one of the few if not the only all-black band signed to that legendary rock label and this poster dates from that peak. While they broke up shortly after this gig the members went on to long careers in various other jazz and prog groups. A striking poster from this significant but poorly documented group. Poster silk-screened in blue gold and red. Mild wear creasing. Some rubbing. Else bright and sound. Very good. Hull University unknown books
1969Best.-Nr. 55917New York: Vantage Press 1969. First edition. Very good plus in a very good jacket. Garrulously inscribed first edition of this scarce self-published first-person account of life on the road with the Chicago Outlaws. Unassuming factory worker George "Rock Conte" Mitchell falls in with the notorious Chicago Outlaws seemingly out of nothing but curiosity: "I had never met or encountered anything which split my imagination as this group did." He published this account with Vantage Press at his own expense reporting credulously and forgivingly on the gang "many of the stunts they pulled off just didn't seem to make any sense . I had seen only one member smoke marijuana" some of whom were also seen and heard from in Danny Lyon's THE BIKERIDERS. Inscribing the book six years after publication Conte echoes the also presumably self-penned jacket copy in comparing his mission to that of John Howard Griffin in BLACK LIKE ME but OUTLAWS FOREVER brought no publicity to the divide between the straight world and that of the riders. Perhaps because HELL'S ANGELS had already claimed it all for Hunter S. Thompson several years before. OCLC locates just six scattered holdings. 8'' x 5.5''. Original black cloth boards silver stamped spine. In original unclipped $4.50 pictorial jacket. 8 pages of black-and-white photographs. 216 pages. Inscribed to front free endpaper: "To / Rob & Sue: / I feel like 'John / Howard Griffin' author of / 'Black Like Me'. There is / always another side to a story. / Sometimes one may pay a / dear price & suffer but one / should never give up. / I wish the two of you the best of everything and hope / your dearest dreams come true. / Sincerely Your friend / Always / Rock Conte / 5-24th-75."

The zine comes with a bonus 7" record featuring Gaunt and includes a faux-survey titled "Favorite Car Survey Yes." Interviewees include Merge Records co-founder Laura Ballance and record engineer Steve Albini who describes his favorite ride as "any van with over 250000 miles." One page advertises a music zine marketplace with the slogan "your needle is distorting sound by as much as 85%" blending fidelity humor with hardline DIY ethics. 3 Rutherford Scott ed. Speed Kills! No. 7. Chicago: Self-published 1994. Labeled the "Art & Science Special" this issue includes a piece titled "Futurism: Proto Punk" by Karen Pinkus linking early 20th-century Italian Futurism with the energy and aesthetic of punk rock. Includes contributions by indie rock standouts like Mac McCaughan Superchunk and Rachel Brook Flying Saucer Attack . A profile of the band Unwound is presented under the title "smashing the work ethic OR everyday is yesterday" while reviews cover artists including Don Caballero Cherubs and Labradford. The layout remains resolutely cut-and-paste incorporating xerox collage screen print textures and handwritten text. Speed Kills was a Chicago-based fanzine launched in 1991 by editor Scott Rutherford uniquely blending the worlds of underground indie rock and vintage drag racing culture. Emerging during a time when fanzines served as vital connectors within DIY music communities Speed Kills stood out by juxtaposing interviews and reviews of bands like Nirvana Pavement and Superchunk with in-depth features on 1960s drag racing legends and hot rod culture. Its pages often featured hand-screened covers vintage auto parts advertisements and detailed discussions on car mechanics reflecting a deep enthusiasm for both music and automotive subcultures. This fusion offered readers a tactile and immersive experience highlighting the shared spirit of creativity and rebellion in both scenes. Light toning to page edges. Minor staple rust and occasional handling creases. Covers bright and intact. Overall very good condition. Speed Kills! stands as a rare and distinctive zine that merged the grease-stained Americana of hot rod nostalgia with the avant-garde ethos of noise rock and punk embodying the collision of speed sound and subculture in the 1990s musical underground. unknown books
