1981ref. 76492London: 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.

1970ref. 231661970. Narcotics raids arrests rehabilitation scenes and evidence displays across Florida in press photographs and magazine pages. Photograph archive spanning Miami Fort Lauderdale Pasco County and related Florida sites from 1970 to the early 1990s establishing how drug control operated through police action newspaper circulation and treatment institutions during the War on Drugs. Produced for press use by newspaper staff photographers wire services and law enforcement publicity channels the group shows the public face of narcotics enforcement at the point when South Florida had become a major corridor in the national drug economy and anti drug policy was being made newly visible through staged photographs official briefings and widely circulated arrest imagery. Named figures included such as Bob Gladden Larry Csonka Jim Kiick Admiral Rickover Carl Mingo and several rehab subjects identified by hand on the versos. The photographs depict suspects detained searched paraded identified displayed beside seized contraband and in other cases shown within rehabilitation settings revealing how law enforcement courts newsrooms and treatment programs handled the same crisis through different institutional forms. Photo archive of 18 press photographs including 16 silver gelatin press photographs and 2 wire photos approximately 8 x 10 inches Florida 1970 to early 1990s. The core images show narcotics policing in action: a helmeted officer beside a paddy wagon crowded with detainees; a bench filled with young men under detention in an interior holding space; two handcuffed men led from a courthouse or station entrance; a police-released mugshot with typed caption identifying former New England Patriots running back Bob Gladden after arrest in Fort Lauderdale on a marijuana charge; and a street arrest with an armed officer escorting a suspect between parked cars. Several photographs center on the staged display of evidence including tables covered with packets of drugs stacked currency pistols taped "cookie sheets" and open suitcases packed with bricks or cutting materials. One image shows a narcotics dog inspecting rows of luggage; another shows officials at microphones before a sign for the Vice President's National Narcotics Border Interdiction System; another records cocaine seized from a concealed boat compartment. The group also includes rehabilitation scenes with young adults identified en verso in cursive extending the archive beyond arrest photography into treatment culture. Versos carry a dense record of press handling and editorial use including Miami Herald staff photo stamps dated Dec. 15 1970 and Jan. 5 1971 a St. Petersburg Times credit and clipping backing for a Pasco County drug ring case dated May 29 1974 typed bureau captions circled editorial notations such as "cocaine" "marijuana" "drug raid" and "Operation Crackdown" plus handwritten shot descriptions and date-used stamps. The earliest prints fall at the threshold of the modern War on Drugs while later additions carry the record forward into the crack era and the more theatrical seizure photography of the 1980s and early 1990s. Florida is central to that story not only as a site of smuggling and interdiction but as a place where narcotics enforcement became highly visual with press conferences celebrity linked arrests tactical raids canine inspections and rehabilitation coverage all translated into newspaper images for public consumption. The present grouping combines an earlier core of related press photographs with later additions and it preserves a strong visual record of how narcotics control was communicated to the public through local papers wire distribution and agency captioning. Light surface wear minor edge and corner handling editorial markings and stamps to versos scattered adhesive residue and toning; overall very good condition. A concentrated Florida press record of the machinery publicity and human management of drug enforcement across two decades. unknown
