HIPPIE HIPPIE SHAKE: the dreams, the trips, the trials, the love-ins, the screw ups... The Sixties.

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original purple cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout in colour and black and white. A better than very good copy, the binding tight and square, with rubbing and mild bumping to the extremities. The contents are clean throughout and free from inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed and creased dustwrapper, that has a nick to one flap fold and a short closed tear to the other (with a single piece of tape to the verso). Scarce in presentation state.

Signed by the author to the title page in black ink "To the former / Manchester Correspondent / for IN? / from Richard Neville / 1995". An autobiographical account of Neville's time as editor of counterculture magazine Oz, the publication of the obscene 'Schoolkids Oz' article and the subsequent trial. The book was to be adapted for film with Cillain Murphy as Neville, with development starting in 1997, however changing directors and screenwriters led to delays and as yet, the film not released.
