NY, Award Books, (1968). "A scalding indictment of the phoney movement that has trapped thousands of teenagers." Exploitation magazine-format book, heavily illustrated with "photographs from the notorious Haight-Ashbury photographer who lived among the hippies." Includes 11 separate articles/"indictments," purportedly by different authors, plus "A Report to the People," an editorial on the "national crisis," and a glossary of "psychedelic slanguage." "Stripping the petals off the Flower Children reveals them to be floundering in a cesspool of sex, half-crazed with weird drugs, parasitic, selfish, diseased and above all -- coldly calculating!"
