Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Softcover. Book is in Very Good condition. Clean, tightly bound, and unmarked. The Underground Dictionary is a lexicon of slang, symbols, and phrases used within the American counterculture of the 1960s. The book serves as a historical document, capturing the language of a specific era and a wide range of subcultures, including hippies, "dopers," bikers, and musicians. Rather than being a formal academic text, the book is a collection of terms and their definitions, offering a fascinating glimpse into the vernacular of the time. It covers a variety of topics, from drug-related slang to terms for sex, music, and general counterculture attitudes. The work aims to be an exhaustive record of this language, which was often considered outside of the mainstream. Landy, who is perhaps better known for his controversial work as a psychologist for musician Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, compiled the dictionary to document this evolving language. The book has been noted for its accuracy in capturing the slang and for its historical value in preserving the linguistic landscape of the 1960s counterculture movement. 206 pp.
