About This Item
New York: Perigee Books, 1980. First Edition. Trade paperback. Very good. The first paperback edition, issued simultaneously with the hardcover. Signed by Abbie Hoffman on the front flyleaf, with his ink thumbprint below the signature. Tells the story of one of America's most influential and imaginative dissidents, a major figure in the 1960s counterculture and anti-war movement who remained a dedicated political organizer right up until his death in 1989. With his unique brand of humor, wit, and energetic narrative, Hoffman describes the history of his times and provides a first-hand account of such memorable actions as the "levitation" of the Pentagon, the dropping of dollar bills onto the New York Stock Exchange floor, and the Chicago Seven trial, which followed the demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic Convention, as well as his friendships with Jerry Rubin, Bobby Seale, Allen Ginsberg, and many others. Octavo: 304 p. with numerous textual photographs. Original paper wrappers. The spine is a touch sun faded; otherwise very good.
