Printing and the Mind of Man (PMM) has become a standard bibliographical reference, offering a survey of the impact of printed books on the development of western civilization. This second revised edition is the preferred edition for bibliophiles, as it is extensively revised with a new introduction by Percy H. Muir, addition bibliographies by Peter Amelung and a revised index. The book developed from an exhibition put on at two locations to coincide with the 1963 International Printing Machinery and Allied Trades Exhibition (IPEX). At the behest of typographer Stanley Morison it was decided to put together an exhibition of the contribution printing had made to the enlargement of human knowledge. Ian Fleming, who lent 40 books from his library, was among the private collectors who contributed to the exhibition. A book-length edition of the exhibition catalog was first produced in 1967, revised in 1983 by this second edition, which has become the standard reference.

In his short 37 years, John Whiteside “Jack” Parsons embodied at least several different roles in one tormented but glorious life.By day, Parsons’ unorthodox genius created a solid rocket fuel that helped the Allies win World War II and NASA send spacecraft to the moon. Co-founder of Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Aerojet Corporation, a lunar crater was named after Parsons.By night, Parsons called himself The Antichrist when he performed Aleister Crowley’s Thelemic rituals to create a new sort of human being that would finally destroy Christianity.In a Pasadena mansion, the dark, handsome Parsons hosted soirees for the emerging literature of science fiction, visited by writers such as Robert Heinlein, Ray Bradbury, and none other than L. Ron Hubbard, who later founded the Church of Scientology. With Hubbard playing his “Scribe,” Parsons enacted dark “Babalon” rituals to help foment a new occult age. Jack Parsons died suddenly in a huge, mysterious explosion that even today cannot be definitively explained. Was it murder? Suicide? Or just an accident?Feral House’s paperback edition adds new photographs and an Afterword about Parsons’ “Black Pilgrimage.” One of the inspirations for hit television series, "Strange Angels."

A Brooklyn Boy Plays Detective to Find His Missing Father, writer and editor Robert Eidelberg has added thought-provoking questions throughout the pages of John Carter's original story (they're set off to the side here and there); these questions are intended to prompt you, the reader, to engage in some detecting, some reflecting, and even some expecting during the novel's development of character, plot, and point of view. These provocative questions all appear under WERE YOU WONDERING? headings because they are just the sort of questions that good readers generally wonder about when they read mysteries (actually, when they read all kinds of stories). Good readers look closely (detect) in order to know; they think more fully (reflect) about what they've noticed in order to understand what it most likely means; and they predict (mindfully expect) by using the details of a story and their own experiences and knowledge to guess at what will probably happen next.
