Berkeley: Free University of Berkeley, 1970. First Edition. Quarto (27cm). Pictorial, staple-bound wrappers; 56pp; illus. Light wear to covers; text slightly age-toned; Very Good.
Course catalog and prospectus for the Free University of Berkeley, presented in the format of an underground comic zine. The course descriptions are by various illustrators, none of whom appear to be credited. The Free University allowed students to register for "any number of courses" for a one-time registration fee of $10. Instructors worked on a volunteer basis; among the subjects offered were self-defense, dance, beekeeping, body massage, yogurt, and "theory of orgasm" (though not included in the catalog, we imagine the practicum must have been interesting). The FUB ran from 1966 to 1972. (Inventory #: 83536)
