First Edition.
22cm x 14cm. [v], 141 pages. Black cloth, gilt lettering, illustrated jacket.
Novel by the English historian and hoaxer A. D. Harvey under his Michael Lindsay pseudonym who in the introductory note is said to have been killed in a shoot-out with the Estonian People’s Militia during the course of an attack on an atomic power station near Lake Pskov shortly after completing this book. “Mind-Sprung is not merely the best book about drugs since Confessions of an English Opium Eater, and one of the best books ever written about settling in a foreign country, it is also on of the most startling portrayals in recent years of what is happening in contemporary Britain. The collapse of British civilization as we know it seems to have measurably closer with the publication of this book.” (from jacket flap). “Michael Lindsay’s Mind-Sprung (1981) combines elements of both Orwell’s and Ballard’s types of future-present, but also repeatedly uses sf references simply to emphasize the sheer strangeness of the present. Arguably Mind-Sprung is as important a stage in the reintegration of science fiction with “main-stream” fiction as 1984 or Crash, but to claim this is not to deny that it is a very odd, eccentric and confusing book.” (Harvey writing about his own work under another pseudonym, John Schellenberger, in the literary journal Foundation 25: The Review of Science Fiction).

Dangerous Visions and New Worlds: Radical Science Fiction, 1950-1985

Oakland: PM Press, 2021.
“Much has been written about the “long Sixties,” the era of the late 1950s through the early 1970s. It was a period of major social change, most graphically illustrated by the emergence of liberatory and resistance movements focused on inequalities of class, race, gender, sexuality, and beyond, whose challenge represented a major shock to the political and social status quo. With its focus on speculation, alternate worlds and the future, science fiction became an ideal vessel for this upsurge of radical protest. Dangerous Visions and New Worlds: Radical Science Fiction, 1950 to 1985 details, celebrates, and evaluates how science fiction novels and authors depicted, interacted with, and were inspired by these cultural and political movements in America and Great Britain.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy signed by editor, Andrew Nette. -

The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick

Fourth Printing.
23cm x 15cm. xxv, 944 pages. Illustrated wrappers.
“Based on thousands of pages of typed and handwritten notes, journal entries, letters and story sketches, The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick is the magnificent and imaginative final work of an author who dedicated his life to questioning the nature of reality and perception, the malleability of space and time and the relationship between the human and the divine. Edited and introduced by Pamela Jackson and Jonathan Lethem, this is the definitive presentation of Dick’s brilliant, and epic, work. In The Exegesis, Dick documents his eight-year attempt to fathom what we called “2-3-74”, a postmodern visionary experience of the entire universe “transformed into information.”…” (back cover)
