The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test Wolfe, Tom

New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1968. First Edition, First Printing. Beige cloth boards, blue topstain. Very Good+ in a Very Good+ dust jacket. Boards show shelf wear and rubbing to edges and corners. Darkening to the spine ends, with age toning. Blue topstain faded. Binding is sound and square; pages clean and unmarked. The iconic psychedelic dust jacket, with the original $5.95 price intact, shows toning and some soiling (particularly at the top edge of the front panel and front flap), with rubbing and creasing at the spine ends. Colors remain bright. A cornerstone of New Journalism and a vivid chronicle of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters' LSD-fueled journey across America. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test captured the voice and spirit of the 1960s counterculture with unprecedented immediacy and style. Widely regarded as one of the defining books of its era.
