[nice tight copy, minor edgewear to covers, tiny tear at top edge of rear cover, small stain on title page, one-time owner's tiny signature at top of title page]. Mass Market PB (B&W photographs, facsimiles) A classic piece of anti-Vietnam War agitprop and Establishment mockery, co-authored by the co-founder of The Fugs (Kupferberg). His obituary in The Guardian described him as "a key figure in the US countercultural campaign of the 1960s. As a publisher, poet, pacifist, singer and songwriter, he used his talents for writing and humour to attack the perceived repressions of his nation and its escalating military activities in south-east Asia." As promised by the title, it's basically just a long list of purported methods for avoiding military service -- some of which might actually have worked, but mostly ranging from facetious to goofy to inspired, with all gradations in between.
