FAMOUS LONG AGO: MY LIFE AND HARD TIMES WITH LIBERATION NEWS SERVICE. Boston: Beacon Press, [1970]. Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. Presentation copy with brief signed inscription by Mungo on front free endpaper. The author's first book. Mungo, with Marshall Bloom and Verandah Porche, founded the Liberation News Service in the late 1960s, a skyrocket of political protest journalism that didn't survive the transition to the 1970s after the founders all left to live on a commune in Massachusetts. But for a time he was at the center of hippie/underground culture in the late 1960s on the east coast. A fine copy in nearly fine dust jacket with light wear at edges. (#107370).

Price: $250.00
