A typed list headed 'BOOKS' plans fourteen numbered books, from 'THE LAST AMERICAN CITY' through 'THE POVERTY PROGRAM INTRUSION' and 'AND THE CHILDREN CAME & WENT' to 'IT IS A LONG WAY BACK TO A FORIGN MASTER', with handwritten additions such as 'SURVIVING IN THE / MOUTH OF EDEN' and 'XVI. (ROMANCING, THE / TEACHER)'.

The titles sketch a long sequence of places and phases, including Pittsburgh, the coast, Mexico and a counterculture institute. Margin words such as 'Cannibal Coast' and 'MENT GLORY' have no marked place in the list.
