San Francisco: Alternatives Foundation, 1972. 231pp.; illus. 4to. Perfect-bound in photo-illustrated wraps. Softened corners; some light creasing to front cover; mild toning and soiling to wraps. Very good indeed: internally clean and solidly bound. The final of five volumes in Richard Fairfield's iconic Modern Utopian series, which broke ground in surveying American and international communes of the hippie era. This issue with contributions from dozens of authors (Alan Watts and Nick Tosches among them), most reprinted from other sources, covering various angles of the commune experience under such headings as "The Religious Scenario," "Back-to-the-land," "Women?s Liberation," "Kid?s Liberation," etc. With a foreword by Walt Odets, and an introduction by Richard Fairfield. Like all entries in this series, scarce now in the trade.
