History of Underground Comix
Mark James Estren
Extensively illustrated. 10 chapters about comix content, only 1 about comix history. 
Look for the Straight Arrow edition with the Rand Holmes party/jam cover. The Ronin edition's ugly Crumb 'keep on truckin' cover, sucks. Probably has less art inside, too.
Straight Arrow Books, 1974. 
ISBN  0-87932-075-3. 
Library of Congress  cat. # 73-90732 
Ronin Publishing, 1993. 
ISBN 0-914171-64-X (paper).

Kitchen Sink Press, the First 25 Years
