Suck: First European Sexpaper
Read MoreWilliam Levy; Heathcote Williams; Germaine Greer; Susan Jansen; Lynne Tillman; Jim Haynes; Willem de Ridder
London and Amsterdam: Joy Publications, 1969-1974.Complete set of Suck, touted as the first European sex newspaper tasked with creating “a new pornography which would demystify male and female bodies”. Launched in London in 1969 before moving to Amsterdam to avoid England’s anti-obscenity laws. Heathcote Williams in his Suck manifesto declares “SUCK is Group Sex, Police Sex, Animal Sex, Teeny Sex, One Armed Bandit Sex, Geriatric Sex and Cosmic Sex”, highlighting the nothing is off-limits approach of the editorial board. Though Suck was no mere porno rag, as Australian feminist writer and Suck co-founder Germaine Greer told the academic journal Women’s Studies International Forum, Suck was “a new kind of erotic art, away from the tits ‘n’ ass and the peep-show syndrome.” Greer’s involvement helped push a wave of radical feminist pornography, though she fell out with her co-editors and resigned after they published a photograph of her naked with her legs over her head, not because of the nudity, but the context of its publishing, which is outlined in Greer’s resignation letter printed in the final issue. Greer’s involvement was not the only tip to a radical cause with noted contributors including William S. Burroughs, Valerie Solanas, Michael McClure, W. H. Auden, Guillaume Apollinaire, Maurice Girodias, and many others. Primary editors were William Levy, Heathcote Williams, Germaine Greer, Susan Janssen, Lynne Tillman, and Jim Haynes, with art direction by Willem de Ridder.

Killalpaninna Mission & Habitat: A Photographic Record of Bethesda Aboriginal Mission Station on Cooper Creek
AU$800 Read MoreAdd to cartHoward Pearce
Brisbane: Howard Pearce, 2022.Glass-plate photographs of the last decade of the Bethesda Lutheran mission at Lake Killalpaninna, taken by the mission teacher August Hermann Vogelsang between 1907 and 1917, privately published by the author in a very limited number, based on his 1980 report submitted to the South Australian Aboriginal and Historic Relics Unit.. “In the summer of 1866-67 the Hermannsburg Mission Society in Germany, in conjunction with the synods of the South Australian Lutheran Church, attempted to establish a mission for the Aborigines on Cooper Creek in return for their kindness to John King, a survivor of the Burke and Wills expedition. During the same period, the German Moravian Brethren Mission Society in Victoria also undertook to begin mission work in the district. Both orders were pursuing a policy of segregating newly-contacted groups of Aborigines on church-run missions where their conversion to Christianity could be achieved away from the influence of ‘bush blacks’ and white settlers. However, through ignorance, drought and religious dissent, the missions failed to flourish and were abandoned. The Moravian Brethren departed for good, but the Lutherans regrouped and returned to the district to continue their struggle. This book contains a unique collection of dry-plate glass negative images, taken by August Hermann Vogelsang while employed as the school teacher at Bethesda Lutheran mission on Cooper Creek between the years 1907 and 1917. The images have been carefully researched and described by the author with the advice and guidance of former mission residents. This is a record of the last years of Bethesda mission station at Lake Killalpaninna in the far-north salt lake country of South Australia.” (from jacket blurb)
