Description:
NY: The World Publishing Company, 1971. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Inscribed first edition of this well-meaninged if somewhat naive memoir about "the havoc caused by drugs," written by a Roman Catholic priest based on several years spent accompanying members of the New York City Narcotics Squad on outcalls around the city. Despite its sensationalistic title, Melody for the most part skirts the alarmism and sermonizing that plague so many anti-drug tracts of the day, instead constructing his book around a series of vivid incidents he witnessed while out on patrol: breaking up a group of hippies in Washington Square Park, discovering a dead body in a heroin den-cum-poolroom, venturing into a late-night psychedelic dancehall known for dosing its patrons with LSD-spiked coke, being assaulted and shot at while attempting to intervene on behalf of an eighteen year-old heroin addict, etc. An interesting look at 1960s drug culture. First edition. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Melody…

First edition. Octavo (5.5 x 8.25 in.); 187pp.; light green, textured paper boards; gold spine lettering; in dust jacket.

NY: New York Feed. Co., 1969. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. A notorious issue of this underground paper of sleaze and the New Left, its publication having resulted in staff members being twice arrested and brought before the New York State Supreme Court on pornography charges, which they were about to beat owing to the fact that the issue's sexual content consisted entirely of innuendo (i.e. no genitalia). Features include "The Decline of Sex in Rock" by Robert Somma; "Sex at the Fights: How a Pornographer fell in Love with Mrs. Benvenuti," by Ray Schultz; "Block Girls : True Story of Slim Fingers, Master Pump of the All" by C. J. Avery; "The Midnight Cowboy Meets Lonesome Cowboy," a film review by Gregory Battcock; "Sex on Tip Toes," a piece on the Rudolf Nureyev and the ballet; etc. NYRS&P was established in 1969 by members of the soon-to-be-defunct New York Free Press as a way to subsidize that publication.
