Gateavisa (69 Issues, 1976-1992)
$1,500.00 Add to cartGateavisa
Oslo: Futrum Forlag, 1976-1992.
Broken run of 69 issues of Norwegian anarchist and counterculture newspaper Gateavisa. First published in 1970 and through various forms and publishing schedules still being produced today. With an anti-authoritarian focus Gateavisa covered a wide range of topics, from occultism and mysticism to politics and philosophy, and of course underground comics. Gateavisa often featured stories on sex and drugs, and was an early supporter in an otherwise conservative Norway of LGBTQ rights and the legalisation of cannabis. Other regular columns ran on squatting, police violence, prisons, organic farming, pirate radios, punk, and more. This run (from March 1976 to March 1992) largely comes from its heyday when it was produced monthly in the late 1970s and early 1980s, though it also shows the editorial changes the magazine went through in the late 1980s and early 1990s. -

Gandalf (Complete Run Nos. 1-58)
$5,500.00 Add to cartGuus Dijkhuizen; et al.
Amsterdam: Gandalf, 1964-1971.
A complete run of Dutch counterculture magazine, Gandalf, founded and edited by Guus Dijkhuizen (1937-2013). Associated with the Dutch Provo and hippie movements, Gandalf generally ran with a mix of art, literature, humour, satire, and nudity. Literary contributors included Gerard Reve, Simon Carmiggelt, Jan Wolkers, Simon Vinkenoog, Remco Campert, and Peter Andriesse. Though cartoon nudity appeared from No. 2, and No. 6 contained a centrefold “Playmate of the Rear”, photographic nudes did not appear until No. 8 and it was not until No. 21 before bare breasts were featured on the front cover, as the editors stepped up their campaign against the Holland status quo. Early circulation of Gandalf was around a few hundred copies, making the smaller format early issues rare, but within a couple of years had amassed a large audience with circulation around twenty thousand. Complete from Nos. 1 to 58, in 57 volumes, with No. 9/10 being a double issue. -

In Search of Smiles: LSD, Operation Julie and Beyond
$85.00 Add to cartAndy Roberts
London: Psychedelic Press, 2023.
“The life of Alston Hughes, aka Smiles, is an extraordinary journey through Britain’s counterculture and illicit drug networks in the late twentieth century. A key figure in the Microdot Gang conspiracy, Smiles shifted millions of doses of LSD before being arrested in 1977 by Operation Julie — the police investigation which unearthed what was then the largest LSD manufacturing and distribution operation of its kind. Based on a series of interviews, Andy Roberts’ In Search of Smiles is an enthralling folkloric biography of a life lived to the full, and a culture pushed to the edge. From a tough upbringing in postwar Manchester, to free festivals, hashish smuggling, and travels to South Asia, Smiles’ cat and mouse adventure with the authorities weaves through an intimate portrayal of his life, relationships, and community in the village of Llanddewi Brefi and beyond.” (publisher’s blurb)
