SEX AND RAGE: Advice to Young Ladies Eager for a Good Time
$995.00
Babitz, Eve (1943-2021)
The third book by a 1970s Los Angeles “it girl”, an autobiographical novel in which Jacaranda revels in the pleasures of being a sexy beach bum in Los Angeles until  after too many nights of “14 white ladies” she wakes up and takes an opposite path, moving to New York and a world of focus and work.  This novel has been described as one which solidified “her place as a singularly important voice in Los Angeles literature—haunting, alluring, and alive.” SIGNED on title page and scarce thus. 227 pp.  Very near fine in a near fine dustjacket  (minor wear at the head of the dj spine)

Scarce Beats Item, Inscribed to "Allen (Ginsberg?
Unto Caesar
$450.00(San Francisco): (Dave Haselwood), (1965).  A non-commercial publication, with most copies given away to friends of the author and printer. Hand-sewn in printed wrappers, 6.5″ x 4″,  24 pages, circa 60 copies. The first publication from Dave Haselwood after he left Auerhahn Press in the hands of his partner, Andrew Hoyem.  This copy inscribed “For Allen”, signed “Michael”, and dated Halloween, 1965.  Additionally, McClure has added a self-portrait drawing. Although not definitively established, it seems likely that the recipient is Allen Ginsberg.  Ginsberg and McClure both lived in San Francisco at the time, and the famous photograph of them with Bob Dylan and Robbie Robertson in the alley behind City Lights Books was taken shortly after the date of the inscription. A very good copy, front wrap unevenly and lightly tanned, rear wrap with one light crease, spine a little rubbed, some interior pages don’t quite align to wraps (potentially as issued).
