First edition.RARE IN CLOTH WITH A DUSTWRAPPER.Ira Einhorn [b. 1940] was an activist in the 1960s and '70s, involved in ecological, anti-war and anti-establishment groups. He called himself "the Unicorn" from the translation of his name-- "one horn" or "unicorn". In 1977 he murdered his ex-girlfriend Holly Maddux, whose decomposing body was discovered in a trunk in his apartment. He fled the country while awaiting trial and lived in Europe for the next sixteen years. He was finally tracked down in France and, after complicated negotiations regarding his extradition, was finally returned to the U.S. in 2001 and began serving a life sentence in the state prison at Houtzdale, Pennsylvania. He was known as "the Unicorn Killer". The book at hand is a rambling counter-cultural rant illustrated with surrealistic images.

A. The Unicorn. ) The book is a first edition review copy with publisher's printed slip laid-in. It is also from the library of Livi…ng Theatre co-founder Judith Malina with her siganture & heart symbol inked at head of front end paper. An envelope to her addressed by Einhorn is laid-in, but lacks whatever communication was present. The book is in fine condition in very good+ condition with the dust jacket showing moderate edge wear. There is a hand printed letter from Einhorn addressed to "TT & TT, dated "5/4/75" while he was still eluding capture by law enforcement for the murder of his girlfriend Holly who's mummified body was found in a closet in his residence entombed in a fortified box. Then there are 4 photo-copied sheets of poetry comprising 3 separate poems written by Einhorn, one of which is for- Julian Beck, founder of the Living Theatre. On the backside of the last page is a handwritten note to Beck by Einhorn dated "Oct 12, 73. Einhorn signs his name "Ira" alongwith an inverted "Z" symbol. The addressed envelope to Beck is included. Another poem was for the deceased Holly. A program from the Council For Social Development in Philadelphia entitled "Endless Boundaries" is included as are 3 pieces of newsprint covering the Unicorn murder affair. A fascinating and intimate look into this notorious character's connection with the counter-culture while on the run. Priced as a lot. ; 5 3/4" x 8 1/2".

First printing. (192) pp., 5.25 x 8 inches. Perfect-bound in printed card covers. Designed and photographed by Marshall Henrichs. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs. Toning to edges and slight waviness to pages; light wear to edges of covers and a couple of small closed tears to back cover. An experimental v…isual book of counterculture or new age philosophy, designed in the spirit of such predecessors as McLuhan's The Medium Is The Massage and Fuller's I Seem To Be A Verb. (The title is the catalog number assigned to the book by the Library of Congress.) The author was an antiwar and environmental activist as a student, and something of a hanger-on with many significant countercultural figures; he claimed significant roles, for example in the creation of the first Earth Day in Philadelphia in 1970, but his claims were disputed.Just days before he was set to go on trial for the 1979 murder of his girlfriend Holly Maddux, Einhorn fled the country. He was extradited and returned in 2001, after a four-year international legal process; retried for the crime (he had been initially convicted in absentia), he was sentened in 2002 to life in prison without parole. He died in prison in April 2020.Einhorn used the handle "Unicorn" from the translation of his last name, and so became known as the "Unicorn Killer." Though the book is not uncommon, signed copies are decidedly scarce.
