THESE WERE HER GIRLS

LETA, who longed for mothering and a home-and found them in the same establishment her horrified father visited for entertainment...

8-year-old SHIRLEY whose "services" had been sold by her parents-and who still believed in Santa Claus...

SUSE, the crafty forger, who had lived in nineteen foster homes since she was abandoned by a drunken father and mother who didn't care...

13-year-old DEBBY, rented by her mother to a neighborhood man for weekly pay...

Drunkenness, prostitution, robbery, arson and murder. The 276 girls in this reform school had committed every crime imaginable, and an inexperienced housewife and teacher suddenly found herself the warden in charge of them all. Armed only with compassion and determination (and happily ignorant of what lay ahead), Mrs. Burnham was to live with violence, vice and danger for the next ten years.

Sex And The Intelligent Teenager - Colin Wilson

ARROW BOOKS 873

LONDON, UK

1ST PRINTING 1966

The thesis of this highly original and closely reasoned book is that where sex is concerned we are still living in a 'pre-Coper-nician' era-believing that the sun goes round the earth. Yet never has it been more important that people should think logically on the subject. In a time when almost every teenager has a great deal of 'sexual knowledge' by the age of 14, it is surely imperative to present the problem-as it is presented here-both honestly and clearly.

Teen-Age Mafia - Wenzell Brown

The Teen-Age Mafia was known secretly to its members as PACHUCO

"PACHUCO girls-hopped-up sexpots who brawl, steal and kill like men-are syndicating crime, working their way into juvenile gang leadership from coast to coast." - From the magazine FOR MEN ONLY

"PACHUCO, a teen-age crime club dedicated to violence, stretches across the nation. Unless its back is broken it will become a greater power than the Mafia." - From the magazine TEEN-AGE JUNGLE

"Only one thing can stop the upsweep of PACHUCO-a glare of publicity. Pachuco is a cult that demands an identifying mark, easily recognizable to its membership. As long as Pachuco is kept under wraps, it's a perfect setup. But once the public, law enforcement agencies, judges and juries know what the Pachuco cross means, Pachuco hasn't got a chance. It's going to be too dangerous to sport the Pachuco cross once law abiding citizens recognize the threat it poses."

The most frightening book you've ever read...

'You didn't kill him did you, Ron?' he said piteously. 'He's all right, isn't he?'

Dimly-very dimly-Les realised that he was caught up in something big which he could not control. He was no longer a free agent...

Whether he liked it or not, they'd have to hang together-and the phrase sent a wave of terror through him.

JOHN BINGHAM, one of the foremost 'straight' novelists of our day, tells the story of Les, a cosh-boy, who was fundamentally harmless, but weak and impressionable-a story which moves us to pity and horror.

Dead Respectable - Desmond Reid

"Chelsea: beats and debs in clubs and pads..."

MAYFLOWER DELL 1713-8

SEXTON BLAKE LIBRARY (5TH SERIES) NO.34

1ST PRINTING 1967

LONDON, UK 

To the worried American father the plea was simple - "Find my missing son in London."

To Blake it seemed at first a routine assignment, then the straight road of investigation took strange turnings. There were the cases of the murdered tramps, and the outbreak of suicides amongst university students...

It wasn't easy to find the truth amongst the Chelsea 'set' of S.W.3., where the trail started. Instead, Blake and his assistant found a fantasy world of pseudo-artists and their models; probed a dope-ring; met a white haired young man with a strange philosophy, and a doctor with a stranger practice.

Death and gang-violence joined their search before the riddle of the vanished American student was solved to Blake's satisfaction - if not to that of the police.

Black Leather Barbarians - Pat Stadley

"They call themselves the Night Hawks. Six teen-age toughs on motorcycles, they can make any chick, take on any cop.
Read their story and you'll never rest easy again."

RUN, COPPER, RUN

The young cop parked his motorcycle beside the tree and headed toward them.

The moonlight caught the sheen of their black leather jackets, the tight fit of their blue jeans, the steel tips of their boots...caught the taunting smile on their lips as they stood waiting, six against one.

Take it easy, the cop told himself. They're just kids. But he knew better. He remembered what they had done to the girl, how they passed her around before they messed her up. And he knew that he couldn't let them get away with it.

He had to face them. He had to fight them. Here. Now.

THE MAGIC OF THEIR SINGING...

is far more than a Greenwich Village party where clothes are shed as easily as inhibition...

where Scotch and Bourbon and Drugs lead to a grotesque and terrifying orgy.

Author Bernard Wolfe has looked deep beneath the surface to write a brilliant satire on America's newest cult of non-conformists and their lives of music without melody and sex without romance.
