Wraps. Condition: Good. Illustrated wraps. 32 pp. Black and white illustrations and photos throughout. Early issue of this little magazine/mimeo style work exploring counterculture and social movement/justice subjects, very similar to the many underground newspapers published at the time, but perhaps in magazine form similar to…something mainstream like Time. Many of the articles are anti-war in nature, although a few muse on the more spiritual side of the counterculture movement of the 1960s, like Mel Lyman's (leader of the Fort Hill commune/cult) essay on the New Age. GOOD condition. Minor general toning, a bit heavier to the reverse. Some soiling and minor staining to the covers. Staples rusted.
