About this Item
A small archive of items related to Tom Wolfe including two Autograph Letters Signed and a Signed paperback edition of *The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test* sent to a Seattle doctor. Overall near fine or better. The book is the first paperback edition nicely Inscribed on the title page: "For Edward Flick Salutes from Tom Wolfe." Both letters are written in Wolfe's expressive hand and extravagantly Signed. In the first letter, dated September 12, [1971] Wolfe thanks Dr. Flick for his praise of the book, *Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flack Catchers*, and encloses another book (*The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test*) which he says he wrote "to follow your suggestion about doing a study of the hippy scene." The original padded envelope which held the book and letter are present with the tipped on label now detached revealing the original mailing label from Bantam Books addressed to Wolfe. The second letter is a self-mailer addressed by Wolfe to Flick and dated February 15, 1972. He expresses to Flick his thanks for citing him in the *The Journal of the American Medical Association*, compliments his amusing letter, and closes with an elaborately written "best regards" and his name, curiously written last name first. A small but amusing archive from one of the preeminent satirist of the 20th Century. Seller Inventory # 386642
