Books Are Everything!, Volume 1, Number 1, January 1988






Contains "Beatniks and the Paperbacks" by Carl Alessi, which contains some Burroughs biographical material. Burroughs' Junkie (published under "William Lee") is on the cover of this first issue.  Junkie is noted as "one of the scarcest and most sought after paperbacks" [which seems odd given nearly 114,000 were distributed, a rather large print run].

Published in Richmond, KY. by R.C. and Elwanda Holland in January, 1988.
