Los Angeles: Los Angeles Diggers, 1967.
First Edition.

43.5cm x 29cm. 3 issues. Folded newsprint.

Complete run of the three issues published by the Los Angeles Diggers, also known as the Digger Creative Society, an underground counterculture group active in Los Angeles during the summer of 1967. The paper changed its title with each issue. Inspired by the San Francisco Diggers but apparently not organisationally linked to them, the Los Angeles group ran a free store, distributed free food, and arranged emergency housing and free medical care in anticipation of a mass influx of hippies to the city over the summer. The papers were distributed free through local head shops with an optional donation, and reported on these activities alongside coverage of love-ins and related events.

Each issue folded horizontally, some splitting to the horizontal fold of issue 1. All lightly tanned and a little brittle, still a good to very good set. Good Condition.
