About This Item
Gualala, California: III Publishing, 1995. Very Good++ condition. Bright and shiny. Only light cover rubbing. Flat, uncreased spine. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are clean and unmarked. Bound in the original full color pictorial wraps. From Howard Zinn's review: "A. D. is an extraordinary work of imagination. It combines the utopian vision of Edward Bellamy's LOOKING BACKWARD with the apocalyptic futurism of Orwell's 1984 and the fantastic adventure of STAR TREK." From the rear cover: "The best case and worst case scenarios... 2030 A.D.: Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam and Tom Metzger's White Aryan Resistance have taken over America and divided the United States between them into racially segregated regimes. When one Fred Hampton Rush Senior is charged with sedition for rebelling against this new order, his sentence is to become a human guinea pig in a cryogenic experiment. Fred Rush Sr. is put into a state of suspended animation and does not awaken until... 2410 A.D.: A time when the world is governed by L.S.D., a Libertarian Socialist Democracy, and Fred is being guided through this utopian future by his direct male descendant, peace officer Captain Huey P. Rush. But as Fred is riding in flying cars and being introduced to aliens, something is happening. Something that could destroy everything mankind has worked so hard for... A menace from the past threatens the future...". First Printing of the First Edition. Softcover. Very Good++ condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. (iv), 316pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

About About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
