Marketed as a Thomas Pynchon–meets–Graham Greene debut, this often overlooked novel satirizes the rise of the religious right and is a historical—and uniquely hyperreal—lens into the movement's influence on US politics of the 1980s (A contemporary LA Times review quipped that it's 'safe to say that this latently angry novel will not be required reading at Falwell's Liberty University'). A rare fiction offering from Simon & Schuster's normally self-help–focused Fireside Books imprint, the design features some heavenly drop caps and chapter headings featuring calligraphic type, as well as an MTV-worthy cover design by Janet Perr, who won a Grammy for her art direction and design of Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual. 286 pp.

While known for his work in urban planning, McHarg also drew inspiration from the more private spaces of residential gardens, as seen in this skillfully designed and inventively illustrated book, which became an influential text for early permaculturists (McHarg critiques French Baroque gardening design as he commends the English picturesque style for working with nature rather than subjugating it).

Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Only very light shelf-wear. A charming UK edition of one of Kerouac's heftier novels (clocking in at 366 pages), featuring an uncredited cover depicting an Elton John–esque cherub wielding Old Glory and fountain pen.

Burroughs takes on the persona of Bull Hubbard, whose most notable work is Nude Breakfast. 366 pp. Mass-Market Paperbacks.
