The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test

Tom Wolfe · Farrar, Straus and Giroux (New York) · 1968

Distinguish from later printings via the 'First printing, 1968' copyright-page statement; the price-present, unclipped first-issue jacket is required for a true first in jacket. Beware book-club look-alikes, which typically lack the printed jacket price and may show a gutter-code blind stamp to the rear board.
