Now, if you will excuse me, I have some old paper to sniff! Thanks for the great pictorial of your adventure at the show!

Easier to pick out on a table but less of them to choose from. A cool dope book I had never seen. “Dream Club” and another LB Cole cover I didn’t have. Nice picks - I saw those others but not "Raging Passions" or it would have been a duel Darwination 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Surfing Alien Posted March 18 Popular Post Share Posted March 18 Great minds think alike I picked up a minty copy of "Country Girl" from Kayo along with a great high grade Two-Fisted digest and the Gil Brewer classic PBO "Nude On Thin Ice" Tough books all around. I ended up buying a big enough stack from Kayo that they are shipping them to me Super nice folks with more of the higher end stuff I like than most sellers there.

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I love this show! Wish I could have been there! A few years back I got to meet Lupoff at the show and grabbed an autograph on my well read copy of AICFD. I would have snagged that Classic Comics peeking out of the comic pile if it was an interesting book. That copy of the East Village Other also looks intriguing. Those early counter culture newspapers are interesting reads and don't show up too often; they mostly got tossed in the bin. I always find something intriguing at this show; I picked up a pile of Humbug magazines at the last one I attended. Looks like great fun Bob!! pmpknface, OtherEric and Darwination 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwination Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 The EVO cover looks like Crumb to me, I noticed that one, too. Finding the underground papers is tough in the first place, finding them unfolded is a miracle. 50YrsCollctngCmcs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream club is a tougher book. It was originally printed with the title "Beyond Desire" which is even harder to find.

Kayo is the best dealer at the show. I always hit them first. I always get a stack from them. If you like their show stock, you really should visit their store in Berkeley. Place is packed.

You never know what turns up there. Missed you brother! I also got Lupoff to sign my copy of that book a few years ago. Cool guy. I bet you bought those Humbugs from my friend Kookie. He sets up right next to Kayo Books. He is a local flea market prowler and former comic store owner. He turns up real cool stuff. jimjum12 and 50YrsCollctngCmcs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at the copyright page, it says "Second Printing" but it's actually the Second Printing of "Beyond Desire" with a new title and same cover art. That used to confuse the heck out of people who went looking for the First Printing of "Dream Club" and thought it was a unicorn (well, Beyond Desire is a bit of a unicorn ) The-Collector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I've got Kayo down as the amazing book store in SF proper and Moe's Books as the amazing bookstore in Berkley. The problem with that definition is what to call Borderlands in that case, I supposed we could claim Haight is not only another city but since 1968 has been another planet entirely?
