Books - Burn Down The Night

[Nicaine]

this book is my favorite drug/party fiction. Hope y'all enjoy.

Re: copyright... my friend is trying to get ahold of the author and get written permission to post the book in its entirety. The book has been out of print since 1982 and there's little chance it'll ever come back into print.

P.S. any comments welcome, I just love this damn book to friggin' death.

Excelent read... great flow and imagery... I look foreward to reading the rest and I'll definately look around for a copy.

It is also available – cheap – through http://www.abebooks.com/.

Swim prefers to buy from small guys who are not US based. It seems likely that large corporations in the country-region will be more likely to pass on purchase records to those who will use them for purposes of control and harm.

Thanks for the info on where to get the book... excellent, cheap source.

I s'pose someone could copy each chapter month after month & put together the entire book in half a year, but if they're that desperate they'd find a way to get it anyway.

Anyway, my bud is seeking full copyright permission... with today's societal climate toward drugs/partying I'd say the chances of the book ever going back into print are about 1 in 50 trillion or so...

I must say, it's the best work of "party fiction" (a rare enough genre) I've ever read. Somehow it really captures the essence of the 60's and the road/band/party lifestyle like nothing else. Never seen a movie that comes remotely close.

Sorry I'm pimping it so much, it's kinda silly being so long out of print & all.

Since the original topic dropped to the second page, I thought I'd post an updates thread. My friend is putting a book on the Web called "Burn Down the Night" (party/drug fiction) one chapter per week. One of my alltime favorite books.

Yeah, this is a pretty sweet book. Thanks for all the updates so far.

BTW I Emailed my friend and he hasn't gotten back to me yet. For anyone really into this book, I recommend finding a used copy... seems to be plenty of copies around for fairly cheap (check Amazon.com, eBay and Half.com). You won't be disappointed, it's well worth owning a copy.

meh.. thats okay. I'll just wait for your friend. I'm cheap.
