Condition: New. This is our new trade paperback edition of the Principia, measuring 5.25" x 8.25", Printed and Published by Last Word Press in Olympia, Washington. Color of cover may vary, depending on our paper stock. We have a larger edition available, as well as a pocket-size edition. Brand New; satisfaction guaranteed. Trade paperback binding. "Principia Discordia is a sacred text of the Discordian religion written by Greg Hill (Malaclypse The Younger) and Kerry Thornley (Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst). It was originally published under the title "Principia Discordia or How The West Was Lost" in a limited edition of 5 copies in 1965.The Principia describes the Discordian Society and its Goddess Eris, as well as the basics of the POEE denomination of Discordianism. It features typewritten and handwritten text intermixed with clip art, stamps, and seals appropriated from other sources, possibly in violation of copyright laws.While the Principia is full of literal contradictions and unusual humor, it contains several passages which propose that there is serious intent behind the work, for example a message scrawled on page 00075: "If you think the PRINCIPIA is just a ha-ha, then go read it again."The Principia is quoted extensively in and shares many themes with the science fiction book The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. While Wilson was not directly involved in writing the Principia, both the letter signed "Mad Malik" and the stamps used were his.Notable symbols in the book include the Apple of Discord, the pentagon, and the "Sacred Chao", which resembles the Taijitu of Taoism, but the two principles depicted are "Hodge" and "Podge" rather than yin and yang, and they are represented by the apple and the pentagon, and not by dots. Saints identified include Emperor Norton, Yossarian, Don Quixote, and Bokonon. The Principia also introduces the mysterious word fnord, later popularized in The Illuminatus! Trilogy; the trilogy itself is mentioned in the afterword to the Loompanics edition, and in the various introductions to the fifth editions.". …

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Unmarked. First edition 1965. Very rare book by Kerry Thornley on his Marine buddy Lee Harvey Oswald. Thornley was in the Marines with Oswald and later was his double in New Orleans in the leadup to 11-22-1963 and JFK's murder in Dallas. This book is a "personal analysis" of LHO. Includes Thornley's Warren commission deposition and 8 pages of photos and a unique eulogy of Oswald by Paul G Neimark. Thornley wound up living on the Atlanta bohemian fringes in the Little Five Points neighborhood in the 1980 and 90s. He took his secrets to the grave. He would sell his first book (The Idle Warriors) in reprint while splayed out on the sidewalk. I chatted with him once but passed on it. Thornley worked occasionally in a local bookstore and mexican restaurant as a dishwasher and see the Grateful Dead when they came to town. VG+.…

First edition. First edition. 126, [2] pp. with 8 pages of b/w photos in middle of book. Bound in publisher's wraps. Very Good+ with subtle creasing to spine, light wear. An ephemeral "lone nutter" work about the assassination of John F. Kennedy published in its wake that incorporates a novel ostensibly written about the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, while he was still a teenage crypto-Marxist in the Marines: The Idle Warriors. New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison would chase down the author in his investigation into conspiracy and cover-up in the assassination, which was recounted in the Oliver Stone film JFK. To this day, like so many facets of the JFK assassination mythos, opinion is sharply divided about Thornley's motivations and the accuracy of Garrison's probe. Thornley would go on to co-found the joke religion of Discordianism and be active in the libertarian right.…

UNBOUND. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Complete original 1965 newspaper edition of the first part of the condensed tabloid publication of Kerry Thornley's book entitled OSWALD.Three years prior to the JFK assassination, Thornley had begun writing a novel about a disillusioned Marine. After meeting Oswald during his military service and later on hearing of his defection to Russia, Thornley shifted the subject matter entirely to Oswald. The Warren Commission investigating the JFK assassination subpoenaed his book manuscript entitled THE IDLE WARRIORS and delayed publication until 1991.The book OSWALD is based on his Warren Commission testimony which supported the lone assassin theory. Thornley himself became a person of interest in the District Attorney Jim Garrison investigation and was charged with perjury related to his denial of contact with Oswald while in New Orleans prior to the assassination. Thornley would later recant the lone assassin theory, even suggesting that he and Oswald may have been subjects of military LSD experimentation while serving in the Marines. In all, Thornley remains as much the enigma as Oswald himself. …
