About This Item
University of South Carolina Press, 1968. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. GOOD. 274 pp. 12mo, black cloth silver gilt lettering. Moderately foxed, front hinge a bit shaken, some penciling to a few pages; sound otherwise; DJ tips worn. 'SHAMBALA' Bookseller's ticket to FPEP with owner's inscription d. October 1969, Berkeley, putting this within the first year of the legendary Press and Bookshop's operation. With a vision to 'create a space to propagate the Wisdom Traditions of the World,' Sam Bercholz and Michael Fagan first began selling books out of a stall in the back of Moe's Bookstore on Telegraph Avenue in 1968. When a space nextdoor became available in early 1969 at 2482, Moe Moskowitz lent them startup funds to expand into a full-fledged bookstore. Sam and Michael started a publishing company that same year with the same name and the same vision. It would become a much larger and more renowned operation, but the bookshop remained a Berkeley fixture for over 35 years before becoming one of the many indie casualties of Amazon in 2003.
