Cobweb of Trips by Robert Dickins - Psychedelic Press hardback book on the literary history of psychedelics

Cobweb of Trips is a literary history of psychedelics that traces how early experimenters in mid-twentieth century Britain tried to define a social role for psychedelics. The book connects psychedelics to both literature and the history of medicine, following how the psychedelic question and the lived “trips people had” were shaped by broader cultural transformations. It links spiritual reinterpretations and scientific curiosity to political agitation and the 1960s counterculture, presenting psychedelic experience as a thread that emerges when psychedelics enter modern historical life. The product page also notes a limited edition hardback and cover artwork prints signed and numbered by illustrator Ellen Osborne.
