THE JUNGLE

In this shockingly authentic novel, warren Miller has caught the strangeness and wildness of the hopped-up, frenzied world of teenage street gangs. He lets Duke, War Lord of the Crocodiles, tell in his own words how they talk, think, live: what makes them fight . . . what makes them kill.

"When I come walking down the street people say 'Here come Duke. He cool. He got heart.' When they see me strut they know a rumble is on. I swinging with the gang tonight."

"Compared with Duke's 'cool world,' Studs Lonigan's Chicago or Tom Joad's Oklahoma are playgrounds for clergymen's children . . ."

The Temple Of Gold - William Goldman

 A stunning novel of a lost generation - angry, rootless, defiant young men and women in a frantic search for fulfilment.

William Goldman's THE TEMPLE OF GOLD

An angry library trustee wrote to the publishers that THE TEMPLE OF GOLD is a "blue-print for juvenile delinquency", and should be denied space on library shelves. We think he missed the point.

Actually, this enormously exciting, passionate, violent and touching book - - though it admittedly talks about sex with no holds barred, and is packed with scenes that shock and even horrify - - became an overnight, surprise bestseller because it is the truth - - the truth about the most controversial generation, told by one of them.

THE TEMPLE OF GOLD is a whale of a book. It can make you laugh. It can break your heart. It may make you shudder. You may not have the guts to like it. But you'd better read it.

THE AMBOY DUKES

Over two million copies of this novel have been sold in the United States. Of the novel, this has been said, "The Amboy Dukes represent a small minority among boy gangs, but because of over-crowded schools and tired teachers, racial and religious tensions, that small minority is becoming alarmingly less small. That is why Mr. Shulman's book is important and timely." With its slashing realism it is one of the best novels on juvenile delinquency ever written.

"At thirteen," says Barbara Quinn, "I was a gang leader in Yonkers, N.Y. At fourteen, I was arrested for sexual assault. At sixteen, I was married (the marriage didn't last long), at seventeen, I was a mother.

"At nineteen, I was a prostitute, mugger and thief. I drifted in and out of institutions  for three years . . . and attempted suicide by knife, gas and pills."

Today Barbara is a Senior Addiction Specialist in the Human Resources Administration of the City of New York. Synanon was the turning point. She dropped the nickname "Cookie" and became Barbara once again.

After intense self-examination, she has written this courageous, explosive account of her youth. Those who are not repelled by the horror of this gripping history will be rewarded with the heartening story of a young girl's struggle for identity.

Celia looked like an angel.

Her grades in school were excellent. And they should be considering what she did with the male teachers.

She was very popular with the other girls even though she was the best looking of the group, but she had taught them all sorts of new exciting games.

And some of the folks in town were strangely respectful of her because she was not above ruining a life or two.

But her best achievement to date was that N.V. Club: The Non Virgin Club for Girls.

It was Matt who discovered that the gorgeous mulatto woman of sin, Diana Wallace was actually a devotee of depravity, and that her "Romance," the torrid Inge, was hooked on junk. It was Matt who taught Diane what the fever heat of lust could really mean, and it brought his own unnatural sex desires to the front. So Matt went into the lovers lanes and forced girls to love him. His life began in evil and bestiality, and moved in poisoned passion until it became a . . .

DRUGGED AND DEPRAVED!

One look at Gina and you knew she was a nice girl - nice on top, nice on bottom, even nicer in between. Furthermore, she had nice ideas, nice morals, and a nice head on her beautiful shoulders. But a beatnik named Bob slipped her a charge of heroin one night. After that, Gina was not so nice. . . . 

First came the orgies of dope and dizzying lust. Then the long transports of shameless ecstasy in the grip of the drug. And finally, selling that "nice" body of hers to anybody for any purpose. For solely in this fashion could she earn enough to buy heroin for herself, for her Bob, and for sleazy Willy, her filthy protector and pimp.

Fighting desperately to escape the drug and the degradation, Gina knew that in love lay her one hope. But she was truly loved, it seemed, only by another girl - by green-eyed Lois, the young sister of a dangerous dope-pusher! And he walked in, one day, while Gina and Lois were warmly embracing! . . .
