AMOK Fourth Dispatch / Ed. Stuart Swezey / 1990 / Amok Books

Sourcebook of the Extremes of Information in Print.

The groundbreaking index of outre literature. In the days before the internet, it was difficult to research subcultures, alternative theories or classified information. This volume, describing thousands of obscure publications & other media, gives a rare insight in these hidden worlds.
