Surviving on the Streets is out of print, some copies still available from eBay or Amazon.

Twisted Image is out of print, so if you find a copy, invest in it.
You think I’m kidding. I’m not.

Mike Hoy, the legendary iconoclast who founded Loompanics Unlimited, publisher of the first two Ace Backwords books. (The one in his left hand is not a Backwords book, the right-hand one, Surviving on the Streets, is.)
I wonder how Mike is doing. I haven’t heard anything from him, or about him, since he packed up Loompanic’s tent back in 2006. I guess after all those years of being on the front-lines he could use a break. If anybody goes down as “cutting edge” and “original” in the world of publishing, its gotta’ be Mike Hoy.
I tried for years to get my Peanuts stuff published by Hoy.
Props to Mike Hoy, a great man.
I donated my copy of Twisted Image to the Downtown Oakland Public Library, when my stuff outgrew my space. Hope they still have it and didn’t give it away.
Yeah, Mike was the coolest. I’m honored you donated my book to the library!
I’d still have it if I had the space. And, my devotion goes beyond that … my nickname for my wife is Hippy Girl ..
I used to read the local paper that was published by homeless – individuals
On multiple issues I read these poems from a unknown poet that really captured the moments by expressing his experience on streets, they were not just bitter and sad but most amazing.
I would love to read more of his poems and know what happened to him. I wish I had more info on the subject matter !!!
Tnx
