The San Francisco Express Times was a weekly counterculture tabloid underground newspaper covering and promoting radical politics, rock music, arts & progressive culture in the Bay Area. Regular contributors included Todd Gitlin, Greil Marcus, Paul Williams, Sandy Darlington, and Marjorie Heins. Staff photographers included Nacio Jan Brown and Robert Altman. The artwork was provided by Jaxon, along with the  editorial cartoons of Ron Cobb. After a year the paper morphed into the Good Times, with a more relaxed and drug-oriented editorial line.

Varying degrees of general wear with toning, occasional foxing, etc.; occasional chipping or tears at edges and folds; generally very good.
