Box of Battered Wood and Books

Collection of renowned--and sometimes controversial--classic titles from 1970 to the present. Right out of the collection of our very own Michael Clapper. Includes stained wooden box!

Want to be the coolest kid on campus? In 1971? This might be the box for you!

Here's a portion of the paperbacks you might have carried in your back pocket. Want to start the revolution? Learn to fly in your dreams? See what Bob Dylan puts in his trash?

Literary controversies - of course. Hoaxes - you bet. Problematic authors - without a doubt. Scandalous when published but laughable now - definitely the case.

Note: none of these are in perfect condition, so don't worry if the cover gets torn off. More than a few have been banned. Some have turned out to be hoaxes. Nobody's neutral on most of these titles. And one title was fished from the trash bin of a local public high school in 1997.

Titles Include:

• Malcolm X Speaks
• One Hundres Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Gregory Rabassa
• Seize the Time by Bobby Seale
• The Black Jacobins by CRL James
• Foundation by Isaac Asimov
• Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin and Robert Bonazzi
