HANNAH STEINBERG'S COPY

With a special introduction by William S. Burroughs.

Printed in black and white and multiple colours and illustrated throughout.

First Edition. Large 4to. [280 x 220 x 14 mm]. 68, 71-173, [3] pp. Original red card covers with thin silver foil wrappers (lacking the eyes label on the front, a few oxidization spots).
London: printed thru Imprint, published by Knullar, 1969.

With two copies of the errata slip, "Words, by Malcolm X, has been removed from this book, at the last minute, on the insistence of the author", and pp.69-70 duly excised. A very good copy in the fragile silver foil wrappers, though sadly the eye label has gone missing (I hope to find and reattach it).

A collection of radical American writings which had previously appeared in IT (International Times). It is described at the beginning as "A looking back word. An anthology of revolutionary effects, mummified for the coffee table". There are five contributions by Burroughs and three by Allen Ginsberg.

With the signature of Hannah Steinberg (1926-2019) and recently bought directly from her estate. Steinberg was born in Vienna and was one of the first Jewish children to travel on the Kindertransport to London. After studying for a Certificate in Commerce and then at Secretarial College she changed course and read Psychology at University College London. She continued to work at UCL for the rest of her career, in 1962 becoming one of the first Readers of Psychopharmacology in the world, and in 1970 the first Professor. Her research focused on the effects of drug combinations, and how the drug efficacy could be impacted by the emotional state of the taker. Many of her test subjects were students and staff, but she never tested drugs on humans that she had not tested herself (and drew the line at LSD). She also worked closely with Elizabeth Sykes, her long-term colleague and partner, to investigate benefits of exercise for wellbeing and creativity. She was the founder of various organisations, including the Academic Women's Achievement Group at UCL, and her campaigning efforts brought about the "Steinberg Principle" which states that planned developments should not only do no harm to the character of a conservation area but should "pay special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing it".
