Description
Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1977. Paperback. First edition, first printing. [iv], 171 pp. Bound in publisher's green wraps. A few minor scuffs and miniscule tear at head, else Fine. An unusually neat, presentable copy. An extremely uncommon document of a 1977 U.S. Senate investigation into Central Intelligence Agency mind control and behavioral modification programs, released in the wake of Watergate and the revelations of The Church Committee in 1975-- wherein, specifically, the existence of MKULTRA was mentioned in public for the first time. CIA attempts to create hypnosis- or drug-altered couriers were mentioned, as were very vague outlines of how U.S. government-directed political assassinations in the Cold War might have worked. The wild tidbits of information the Senate turned up, while generally ignored by esteemed historians and journalists for decades afterwards, would influence popular culture immensely, deeply problematizing what had been the reserve of James Bond and feelgood patriotism.

Fine
Description
NY: Grove Press. (2010). The advance reading copy (marked "uncorrected proof") of this collection of three novellas. An unaccountably uncommon advance copy. With the increasing digitization of the publishing process, physical advance copies (sometimes misleadingly referred to as "galleys") have sporadically and unpredictably become much scarcer than they tended to be in the less-virtual past. Fine in wrappers, with blurbs by Jennifer Egan and Anthony Brandt on the rear panel, and one discernible change to the front cover ("Jim" is centered over "Harrison" here; in the published version the names are flush left). Softcover. Fine.
