THE CoEVOLUTION QUARTERLY #3 (Sausalito, CA: Fall 1974).

Sm. 4to. Wrps., 96pp. Photo-illustrated throughout. Guest edited by the Black Panther Party. Foreword by Stewart Brand: "It is an honor and a relief to turn over the editorship of this entire issue of THE CoEVOLUTION QUARTERLY to the Black Panther Party. A relief because the usual CQ staff is buried under a mountain of books getting out the WHOLE EARTH EPILOG. An honor because the Panthers are the most effective community service-and-organization group I know."

The front cover photograph was taken at the First Black Community Survival Conference sponsored by the Black Panther Party in March 1972, during which over "10,000 free bags of groceries… were distributed", an example of the Panther Survival Programs that Brand in his foreword describes as "model activities… for cities everywhere", and of the self-reliance he promoted in the pages of the Whole Earth Catalog. The journal's first section, 'Survival Pending Revolution', is devoted to the Survival Programs and includes articles on the Free Food, Clothing and Employment Programs, The Black Panther Intercommunal News Service, and The People's Cooperative Housing Program. Other sections feature Bobby Seale and Elaine Brown's People's Campaign in Oakland; "The Songs of Elaine Brown and The Poetry of Ericka Huggins"; "Art For The People's Sake" by Emory Douglas (with 5 drawings); and excerpts from books by Huey P. Newton, George Jackson and David G. Du Bois.

Wrappers rubbed and newsprint pages slightly age-toned; 2cm. closed edge-tear to p.19/20; mailing address label to lower wrapper and contemporary bookstore label affixed inside upper wrapper; o/w a Very Good copy of a publication that represented a rare alliance between the communally-minded hippie counterculture and the revolutionary politics of the Black Panther Party.
