Mayfair, Volume 4, Number 1, [January] 1969

Burroughs contributes “Rally Round the Secrets, Boys”, pp. 52-54. This is Burroughs Academy, Bulletin #15. 

At page 7 is a brief comment on Burroughs: "... William Burroughs, who contributes to Mayfair this month a fascinating thesis on the suppression of labour-saving devices by government interests, has recently made two significant additions to his giant international reputation. His novel The Ticket That Exploded was published in London as the year closed, and there was a London showing of a film on 'Witchcraft' [Häxan] with a detailed commentary by him."

Published in London, England by Mayfair in January, 1969.

This copy was formerly in the collection of Darin Scope.
