New York: Dell Publishing Company, 1975. First edition. Paperback. First edition. 172, [4] pp. Bound in publisher's wraps. Near Fine with minor shelf wear, faint hint of a vertical crease to the front wrap. The 1970s were a golden age of fringe books inspired by Erich von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods, the flying saucer subculture, and Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision. This book is perhaps the high watermark of that era. In it the author argues that the moon is a gigantic hollow space vehicle parked like a derelict truck in earth's orbital field by aliens. (Perhaps that behavior explains why they feel so at home visiting earth's rural areas?) Features on the moon are analyzed in a style prefiguring that of Richard Hoagland, well-known for his Mars face discovery. This book proved a big enough hit to inspire a sequel, Secrets of Our Spaceship Moon, which is mainly remembered today as that other book about the moon being a spaceship.

Very Good+ with light edge wear. The acclaimed director of such indie films as Sid & Nancy, Repo Man, Walker and Straight to Hell wrote this look at the parallel lives of President John F. Kennedy and his reputed assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. It succeeds as a concise, well-organized overview of the vast corpus of JFK assassination conspiracy research. Cox's insight is especially valuable about the early '60s radical right and (not surprisingly, given that his profession) the photographic record of Oswald's life propagated throughout the media upon his arrest.

The two men would have a long friendship. Decades later after Shaver had faded into obscurity, the first volume of his friend's long-promised memoirs was finally published and Shaver was dismayed to find that his book, The Ancient Earth - Its Story in Stone, had been included in its entirety in this book, spanning 2/3 of its contents, but that he had not received any credit on the covers or main title page. The unusual images in rock that Shaver found, photographed, and… Leer más

[np]: Stone Garden Press, Inc, 1969. First Edition. First edition. [2], 21 pp. Publisher's stapled wraps. Near Fine, lightly toned with age, faint upper corner crease. Scarce. No copies located in OCLC.An ephemeral document of the "Paul is dead" rumor that swept Beatles fan-culture in the fall of 1969. Paul McCartney was alleged to have died in 1967 under mysterious circumstances and been replaced by a body double. Supposedly this jarring fact could only be alluded to by the surviving Beatles, not expressed openly, via tiny hints and clues in the Beatles' album artwork, lyrics, and interviews (shades of "Q"'s "breadcrumbs" in the recent Q-Anon phenomenon, perhaps?). This booklet runs through many of these clues such as the famous lack of shoes on Paul on the album cover for Abbey Road. By late October 1969 pop culture references to Paul's demise had become a running joke that few took seriously, even though the memory of the rumor managed to live on in the popular consciousness.
