Snyder examines the impact of these works on our modern culture, from 1960s counterculture to fantasy publishing, gaming, music, and beyond. The reissue has a gorgeous, updated cover design with a custom illustration on foil-stamped faux cloth and additional pages of material covering new developments.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46714187481246,"sku":"ADS-9781454944751","price":54.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781454944751.jpg?v=1776040569","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781454944751","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
