Healdsburg, Hermes Free Press [Zephyrus Image], Copyright 1977. Lower board with a faint water stain, contents fine and unflipped. In Johnston p-208 (illustrated) who collates for blue Tweedweave wrappers only. Commercially one of the scarcest and most sought after of Zephyrus Image ephemera. Provenance: from Holbrook Teter's archive with the old Maggs pencil stock number in back. The cover title is Dade County Bible , referring to '.Anita Bryant ? the former Miss America and spokesperson for Florida's frozen juice industry [who was] also the vocal leader of an infamous anti-gay campaign in Dade County, Florida' (p-128 Stephen Vincent in Johnstone). The flipbook starts with a small black cross that, when flipped, trans- forms into a swastika. Teter used a form of situationist style street theatre to distribute them in the Haight, vending them from an ice-cream or cigarette girl's tray in the Castro, bastion of gay civil rights, even selling two to Harvey Milk for 50¢ apiece (p-130 ibid). 134642.…
