Cody's Books: The Life and Times of a Berkeley Bookstore, 1956 to 1977. Illustrated in b&w. "Cody's Books - one of the nation's most famous and successful independent bookstores - began in a tiny Berkeley storefront with an investment of $5,000. Pat and Fred Cody had no experience in the book business, but they had a vision and they had commitment - to quality literature, to the community, and to the store. This book tells the inseparable and outspoken stories of Fred and Pat, their bookstore, and tumultuous Berkeley in the 1960s and 1970s." First printing, with "1" as the lowest number in print number line on copyright page. Printed in the USA. Bound in publisher's original pictorial wraps with foldover French flaps. Very slight handling wear, otherwise a very nice clean tight solid softcover copy. 206pp. SB-5.
