Vencice West Beat Photo Collection

I discovered a collection of photos titled "Venice West Picture Essay a photo chronicle of the beat generation in Venice west, California circa 1958… from the out-of-print the holy barbarians by Lawrence Lipton" while checking on the Island Web listing on DMOZ. We are listed as Society > Subcultures > Hippie which never fails to make me smile but I suppose is at least partly correct.

The black and white photographs in this collection are awesome, a time tunnel back half a century into beat Venice, California.

    Hello there,
    The collection of photos entitled “Venice West Picture Essay a photo chronicle of the beat generation in Venice west, California circa 1958… from the out-of-print the holy barbarians by Lawrence Lipton” are no longer available online for viewing.
    Is there a way I might view the photos? I’m very interested in looking at them.
    Many thanks.
    Donna Carroll
