Chelsea 2025: The Radical, The Mystical and The Unexplored

50 highlights for the Chelsea Book Fair, with a focus towards the 19th and 20th centuries. Included are a range of pioneering men and women, revolutionaries, and those who spearheaded the countercultural and psychedelic movements in 1960 and 70s America. Highlights include a letter, handwritten by a British spy during the French revolution, works signed by Fidel Castro, Richard Dawkins and Paulo Coelho, Florence Nightingale’s testimony on the building of the controversial Netley hospital, an inscribed first edition of Terrence Mckenna’s first book, and a copy of the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, signed by almost all of the Merry Pranksters. There is also the editor’s typescript of James Herriot’s ‘Vets Might Fly’, another, unpublished typescript by a Land Girl, and early photographs of Mars taken from Viking I, the first successful Mars lander in history.
