If your only gonna have one book on psychedelics, thats definitely a good one to have

---

It's one of the very best! For a good read that is specifically about psilocybin mushrooms, this is the best:

yeah....i have a stained glass steely in my window and a decent collection of bongs and pipes on my TV stand. (i don't have a TV...if i want to watch a movie or show, i watch it on my computer.)


how i don't get cops banging on my door because of that deadhead in the window is a mystery to me.  i guess i don't listen to enough alex jones for the cops to think anything badly of me.

lol

maaan, fuck Alex Jones... if people really want information without the fear mongering then they need to read/listen to the late William Cooper.

Just my opinion... really dont want this thread to turn into a bunch conspiracy rants

---

i agree absolutely.  i've watched several seminars cooper has done.  he made some really good points.  alex jones is a shill and a total douchebag.  i've talked to him a few times on his show (called in) and he didn't even know what onion routing on a computer (TOR) was.  he was trying to act like he did and sounded like an idiot.  he failed pretty hard.

That's Waaay cool man . So are those others you posted.






I recently came across this one in a thrift store for $1 . Not sure if it is "rare", and it's a bit more along the lines of the occult than psychedelics specifically, but it's relevant.

I was thinking of making this thread today after your cool finds you posted in the lsd in a book thread.  Cool thread.

Used bookstores are a good place to check for books like these.  The one here as a "Counter Culture" section with some McKenna and Leary.  What other sections might be good to check?

That is indeed absolutely fucking awesome! I would pay considerably for that. I doubt you'd want to sell it, but if it ever crosses your mind please keep this guy in mind!

I LOVE this thread. I don't have a whole lot of rare books on psychedelics, but I do have a couple and much of the more recent (past 20-25 years or so) literature that's been published on psychedelics.

I'm actually in NYC right now for a conference on psychedelics called "Horizons: Perspectives on Psychedelics." Tomorrow is the last day of the conference (Sunday) and I'm heading home first thing Monday morning so I will flag this thread and post some of my stuff when I get back home.

I picked up like 20 books at Strand yesterday (my favorite bookstore on the planet), but nothing directly related to psychedelia... more philosophy, general science, cosmology, metaphysics, biology, etc. I like to read things like that and view and interpret them through the lens of psychedelics, I feel it provides the most valuable insights (and probably the most accurate; provided you don't venture too far off the tracks of science into woo-woo land) into just what exactly is going on with this world and the universe. So the bulk of my library consists of stuff like that, but as I said I do have a decent collection of psychedelic literature although not much that is rare. I'm heading back to Strand tomorrow night after Horizons concludes, and I'm going to look for some rare/out of print books on psychedelia there.

Great thread OP! And thanks to everyone who posted their literature and all the pictures- this was a real treat to look at!

Nice, I have an old copy as well, all the reprints include the brown pages but I believe the first editions (very rare) are in a significantly larger format. What are the dimensions of your copy?
